visualization of text

Hi guys

I want to build two panels the first one shows the text "Si520"and the second one "Si519". From the panels I want to use the drilldown option to connect to another dashboard. I tried to use a html panel but than I can't use the drilldown option.

By research I found out I need to use the matchvalue command but I don't understand how to use it.

The link below shows what I want.

the vizualition on the left bottom is my aim.
But the code on the website doesn't helps me.

Hi,
to create the text panels you can do something simple like:

| makeresults
| eval text1= "Si520"
| fields - _time

and use the "Single Value" Visualization.
While your are on the dashboard with this Text Panel go into Edit-Mode, click on the 3 dots on the right and edit drilldown!
Click on "link to dashboard" and pick the one you want.
If you want the Text as a token on the dashboard, open advanced options in the same window and create a token you want to send with the drilldown.
The token has to look like this
form.test_token = $click.value$

left part in the left field and right part into the right..
the form. is only for cross dashboard drilldown

thanks that worked
do you also know how I can change the background colour of the panel?
Because the editing mode is for values optimized.

Glad I could help!

Haven't done it myself since I never had the need to, but I have searched for it in the past:

maybe this will prove useful to you!

otherwise just search the net for other options (have also seen solutions with html)
