How to make a drilldown to another dashboard?

jihape — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 03:19:08 GMT

I can't find much info on the global tokens regarding this.

I'm trying to make a drilldown to another dashboard using the following code:

        <drilldown>
          <eval token="test_tok">mvindex(split($click.value$, " - "),0,0)</eval>
          <link>/app/$env:app$/rn-ps_depot_overview?form.depot_tok=$test_tok|s$</link>
        </drilldown>

However if I click the link I get an error:

The app "$env:app$" is not available
Any ideas or should I just put the app name in manually?
I'm on 6.5.2.

@jihape ,

To open another dashboard in the same app, you don't need to mention the app name but just rn-ps_depot_overview?form.depot_tok=$test_tok|s$ should work for you. It will pick up the current app context automatically

        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <drilldown>
          <link target="_blank">metric?form.node=$row.sourcetype$</link>
        </drilldown>

@jihape, add an independent search in your dashboard to assign $env:app$ to a field name and then use Search Event Handler to assign the same to a token to be passed on to the link.

Following is the independent search code snippet to be added to your dashboard. The tokeAppName can be used in <drilldown> <link>:

   <!-- Independent search to assign Environment App Name token to custom token to be used later in the dashboard -->
  <search>
    <query>| makeresults
    | eval currentAppName="$env:app$"</query>
    <done>
      <set token="tokAppName">$result.currentAppName$</set>
    </done>
  </search>

Following is what the <link> code will look like if you have already set the token tokAppName through the independent search:

  <link>/app/$tokAppName$/rn-ps_depot_overview?form.depot_tok=$test_tok|s$</link>
