independent time picker for each panel in simple XML

vikas_gopal — Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:16:32 GMT

Hi Experts,

I was wondering if it's possible in simple XML in Splunk 6.2 version to have independent time picker for panels for example I have 3 panels in my form and I want each panel should have it's own time picker.I am aware it is possible in advance XML .

Please suggest

Hi @vikas_gopal
I believe this is the case and it is possible inside of Simple XML.

Just read through some documentation from Splunk that says it is a new feature in 6.2 so I would think it's possible.

Hello Vikas,

Yes it is possible to have individual time pickers for panels. Please see Splunk 6.x simple xml examples app. There's an example called 

"Time Range Picker Within Panels"  . Here's the sample xml

 <form>
2.    <label>Time Range Picker Within Panels</label>
3.    <description>Example of placing a time range picker within a panel.</description>
4.    <row>
5.      <panel>
6.        <input type="time" token="time_range1">
7.          <label>Time Range for Internal All</label>
8.          <default>
9.            <earliestTime>-60m@m</earliestTime>
10.          <latestTime>now</latestTime>
11.        </default>
12.      </input>
13.      <chart>
14.        <title>_Internal All</title>
15.        <searchString>index=_internal | timechart count by sourcetype</searchString>
16.        <earliestTime>$time_range1.earliest$</earliestTime>
17.        <latestTime>$time_range1.latest$</latestTime>
18.        <option name="charting.chart">line</option>
19.        <option name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">gaps</option>
20.        <option name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0.01</option>
21.        <option name="charting.chart.stackMode">default</option>
22.        <option name="charting.chart.style">shiny</option>
23.        <option name="charting.drilldown">all</option>
24.        <option name="charting.layout.splitSeries">0</option>
25.        <option name="charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisMiddle</option>
26.        <option name="charting.legend.placement">right</option>
27.      </chart>
28.    </panel>
29.    <panel>
30.      <input type="time" token="time_range2" searchWhenChanged="true">
31.        <label>Time Range for Internal Top 25</label>
32.        <default>
33.          <earliestTime>@d</earliestTime>
34.          <latestTime>now</latestTime>
35.        </default>
36.      </input>
37.      <event>
38.        <title>_Internal Top 3</title>
39.        <searchString>index=_internal  | head 3</searchString>
40.        <earliestTime>$time_range2.earliest$</earliestTime>
41.        <latestTime>$time_range2.latest$</latestTime>
42.        <option name="maxLines">5</option>
43.        <option name="raw.drilldown">full</option>
44.        <option name="rowNumbers">0</option>
45.        <option name="type">list</option>
46.        <option name="count">5</option>
47.      </event>
48.    </panel>
49.  </row>
50.</form>

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Raghav

Very nice example Raghav. Things to remember are the following:

$time_range1.earliest$
$time_range1.latest$
index=_internal | timechart count by sourcetype
Use ... and NOT ....
