Single value in Advanced XML

quatral — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:50:55 GMT

Hi everybody,

I'm making a dashboard using Advanced XML. So far I managed to create some charts but I need to put a Single Value into it. I looked into the list of possible chart here but it seems there is nothing about the Single Value (that we can found on Simplified XML).

Thank you for your time,

Drew

Check this document for a simple XML example:

For advanced XML check out:

You cannot. The SingleValue can only display a static linkSearch, and it cannot incorporate anything dynamic into that search unfortunately. You can see the same issue over here http://splunk-base.splunk.com/answers/56263/singlevalue-drilldown-search-containing-value-displayed-on-singlevalue and the workaround I always suggest is to switch to the Sideview Utils HTML module. There's a whole page in Sideview Utils docs just about replacing SingleValue with HTML.
