asking for a an ID before searching

lancealotx — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:58:41 GMT

I have a few queries, dashboards, and now being asked to take it up a notch. We hava a bunch of data points, and I'm being asked for some reports based on different ones but real time. Basically they want to goto a place, enter an ID, hit enter and have a report and/or results based on that. Right now the dashboard and reports are more general.

So I am wondering if this is a 'app' I have to write? Trying to know where to start my reading, but for the proof of concept, I would like to just have him hit something, have a form box. They can type 1234 and have the results set populate WHERE id = what was entered.

So where do I start my journey?

I would start reading about forms with simple XML here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Developer/FormIntro

And get more examples by downloading the UI examples app: splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22333/splunk-ui-examples-app-for-41
