Hi!
How can one pass input parameters from drop-down/textfield/etc into a search that is inside a div tag of an html panel (I'm using bubble chart example)?
$$mytoken$$ or $mytoken$ - doesn't work
placing depends="$mytoken$"
in html or div tag didn't help either
Here's part of bubble chart example xml and we can see text inputs term
and category
, but they aren't displayed on a dashboard and aren't used in the search inside html. Is it possible at all?
<form script="custom_vizs:autodiscover.js, custom_vizs:viz_bubblechart.js">
<label>Bubble Chart</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
<input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true">
<default>
<earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</default>
</input>
<input type="text" token="term" id="input_term"/>
<input type="text" token="category" id="input_category"/>
</fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<html>

"search": {
"type": "token_safe",
"value": "index=foo sourcetype=$$sourcetype$$ | stats count"
}
The answer is in the Tutorial page of the Custom Visualization app:
Use the "token_safe" and the double-dollar sign syntax ($$token$$) to use tokens inside "data-options".
This also applies to the search query.
This is because if a regular $token$ is used then the <html> panel will clear everything in it if that $token$'s value changes.
"earliest_time": {
"type": "token_safe",
"value": "$$earliest$$"
},

Thanks!
To be honest, I couldn't suppose to put all search string into value section even after reading tutorial.
This is how my working dashboard(part) looks like now:
<fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
<input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true">
<default>
<earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</default>
</input>
<input type="dropdown" token="devicemanufacturer">
<label>device manufacturer</label>
<search>
<query>index=myindex earliest=-2d | stats dc(devicemanufacturer) as d by devicemanufacturer</query>
</search>
<fieldForLabel>devicemanufacturer</fieldForLabel>
<fieldForValue>devicemanufacturer</fieldForValue>
<choice value="*">All</choice>
<default>*</default>
<prefix>devicemanufacturer=</prefix>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<html >
<h2>Top 30 Search Strings</h2>
