Search options

[sromil99]

I am new to Splunk, I have build a Dashboard with the drop down options which will be used with the saved search.

How I can parse the selected value from the drop down in the saved search

i.e

eventtype=web-traffic | transactions clientip startswith="$ANY THING from the Drop down$" endswith="logout"

As far as I know, you can't use a saved search in this way with a dropdown. You need to define a searchTemplate and your search is almost correct for that. The Build and Edit Forms page in the docs explains it well with examples.
