I've read a lot of the documentation here but I am not sure I am approaching it correctly.</P> Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:51:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Using-a-value-derived-from-a-saved-search-in-a-new-dashboard/m-p/120355#M6985 jravida 2014-06-25T20:51:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Using-a-value-derived-from-a-saved-search-in-a-new-dashboard/m-p/120356#M6986 <P>You'd have that search write its output into a lookup.
