Splunk 6.0 redirect to new tab when clicking on result

ibbsplunk — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 16:17:06 GMT

In Splunk Enterprise v5.0.4, when I used to click on the result a new tab used to open. But now in v6.0 when I click on the result the new search populates in the same window. How do I change it back so that when I click on the result from the query, a new tab be open?

To open in a new tab when drilling down from a dashboard or pivot, you can use command/ctrl + click. This isn't supported in the search page yet.

Hi dlamas_splunk,

I tried the ctrl+click and that did not work. In previous version I didn't have to click ctrl though.

What browser are you using? The behavior did change from 5.0 to 6.0 to no longer default to opening a new tab.

I've tried this in firefox and chrome, neither have a right click -> new tab. Control + click does not work either.

This is a pretty major setback from a usability stand point.

This issue exists in latest version 6.0.3 as well. It does work fine from custom dashboard but not from Search interface.

Confirmed - on a Mac using firefox, the new window works from within a dashboard panel (based on pivot) but not from within search (based on pivot).

Adding target="_blank" as in the example below works fine in Splunk Enterprise Version 8.0.1(and supposedly later versions too).

<nav>
   <a href="*yoururlhere*" target="_blank">Monitoring</a>
</nav>

Update : This doesn't work in older versions prior to v7.2.x.
