Token set for Map Marker in dashboard studio

Srubhi — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:28:27 GMT

I need to set a token on the green marker displayed on the map. The search includes the fields REGION, latitude, longitude, and status. Whenever a user clicks on a marker, the corresponding token should be set, and any panel that uses this token should become visible.

Below is my source code,

{

"type": "splunk.map",

"title": "Active Alert in Map View",

"dataSources": {

"primary": "ds AFMPLT"

"options": {

"layers": [

{

"type": "marker",

"data": "primary",

"latitude": "> primary | seriesByName('latitude')",

"longitude": "> primary | seriesByName('longitude')",

"size": 12,

"fields": {

"REGION": "> primary | seriesByName('REGION')",

"STATUS": "> primary | seriesByName('status')"

"dataColors": "> primary | seriesByName('status') | matchValue(colorMatchConfig)",

"additionalTooltips": [

"REGION",

"STATUS"

"resultLimit": 1000

}

"center": [

47.31597438587,

19.366742195838

"zoom": 1.53,

"showZoomControls": false,

"showScale": false

"context": {

"colorMatchConfig": [

{

"match": "Healthy",

"value": "#00FF00"

{

"match": "Critical",

"value": "#FF0000"

{

"match": "No Data",

"value": "#808080"

}

]

"eventHandlers": [

{

"type": "drilldown.setToken",

"options": {

"tokens": [

{

"token": "REGION",

"key": "row.REGION"

}

]

}

"containerOptions": {},

"showProgressBar": false,

"showLastUpdated": false

}

Hi @Srubhi

I think the syntax for the key is row.<fieldname>.value

therefore you need row.REGION.value not row.REGION

See https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-cloud-platform/create-dashboards-and-reports/dashboard-studio/10.3.2512/make-dashboards-dynamic-and-interactive/interactions/setting-tokens-on-a-visualization-click

@Srubhi The correct syntax in Dashboard Studio drilldown event handlers is row.REGION.value. You must reference the .value property of the field in the row object. This ensures that when a user clicks on a marker, the actual value of the REGION field is assigned to the token.

So, in your JSON, the event handler should be modified as below:

......................

"eventHandlers": [
...........

"tokens": [
{
"token": "REGION",
"key": "row.REGION.value"
} ]

]
