How to create a dashboard based on the option selected in dropdown?

vrmandadi — Wed, 29 May 2019 15:03:43 GMT

I am creating a dashboard which gives me CPU usage ,wait time ,idle time etc. In the same dashboard I have added other panels for memory like memory usage , memory free , average memory etc.

I want to have a drop down which has the options CPU and memory .On selecting the CPU only the CPU panels should display and when memory is selected only the memory panels should display.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi vrmandadi,
you should see the Splunk Dashboard Examples App ( https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/ 😞 there's a dashboard example to do something like your need.
In the app is described how to display or hide a panel usinga choice button, but it's the same thing using a dropdown.

Bye.

@vrmandadi if you want to push it a bit you can follow the Splunk blog to create dashboard with tabs for CPU and Memory

You can do it by adding depends=$token$ for panels.
like

<panel depends=$tokenCPU$> CPU PANELS </panel>
<panel depends=$tokenMemory$> MEMORY PANELS </panel>

and set these tokens in the input like

<input type="dropdown" token="type" searchWhenChanged="true"> 
<change>
<condition value="CPU">
    <set token="tokenCPU">$type$</set>
    <unset token="tokenMemory"></unset> 
</condition>
<condition value="MEMEORY">
    <unset token="tokenCPU"></set>
    <set token="tokenMemory">$type$</set>
</condition>
<condition></condition>
</change>

Hi vrmandadi,
it's Link Switcher.
Anyway, Dashboard Examples is a mandatory app for Splunkers.
