display result count in form panel

rzhang520 — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:06:08 GMT

Hi,

I have a form has field inputs and a panel to display the search results in a table. Our users are complainting about they don't know how many events returned by the search. And I can't find good way to display event count in the panel. Any ideas?

Thanks.

You can use |stats count _time AS EventCount

I am using Simple Xml, so there is no way to do it?

There nothing seems to be available for simple xml. There could be some workarounds like using searchTemplate and searchPostProcess and adding a single value module to show count. But mostly you'll end up writing extra search just to show count.

You can achieve this with <done> tag, like this:

<done>
           <eval token="resultcount_tok">$job.resultCount$</eval>
 </done>

And use it anywhere in your dashboard panel with "$resultcount_tok$"
