Hi Everyone,

I want to use tooltip/ mouse hover on splunk table headers.

eg:- ...|table abc

Whenever I hover on field name(abc), it should show Nikks Mahajan.

Thanks
Nikks

You can refer to the following blog. You will have to put in your own JavaScript to apply only for Table Header.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

As this is only for the cell values, can we do for the field labels?

Thanks
Nikks

@nilaksh92 @cblanton is the tooltip text static tooltip or would it be based on the table header. Please add some example of what the table header might be and accordingly what kind of Tooltip text need to be displayed.

For me the text would be static per table field and the fields are fixed in this case. Thanks for any help!

@nilaksh92,

Simplest solution is to give id to your table (my_table_id) and add very small javascript with below content:

$("#my_table_id table th a").attr("title","This is table header");

Above will add same tooltip to all the columns but you can make jquery to make specific selection.

Hope this helps!!!
