conditional event to display different static picture

cpuppet — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:04:47 GMT

is there any ways to display different static picture on dashboard depends on different search result.
this is sort of like an if-then scenario, which can be crucial to my live dashboard
the single event icon color can be changed, so i m wondering if it is possible to display different picture for conditional results. Such as, critical should display pic01 in the my dashboard, low should display pic02 in my dashboard, so on...

As long as I know, there is no way at this moment. You can request Enhance request to Splunk.

Yes, you can do this through CSS to an extent. I will update my answer with some code examples a bit later on (Don't have time at the moment but also don't want you to give up on it! 🙂 )
I use it with singlevalues to allow me to change the image as different events happen.

As a brief explanation its using the background image of a div which you can define inside the application.css for an app and you can specify this against your singlevalue requirements, e.g critical.
Or you can define your own classes to use instead of the default ones like critical/warning etc.
