Dashboards & Visualizations

Does Splunk support fields with whitespace from custom drill-down

I have a statistic table with some of the field names contained whitespace, and I created a custom drill-down for each field and pass the parameters to another dashboard when clicked on the field. Here is the sample codes from the statistic table:

...
<option name="count">5</option>
<drilldown>
   <link field="status">
       /app/my_app/details_dashboard?form.http_status=$row.status$
   </link>
</drilldown>

The code showed above only works if the field doesn't contain a whitespace. For the fields with whitespace, I defined as below:

...
<drilldown>
   <link field="Network Location">
      /app/my_app/details_dashboard?form.location=$row.\"Network Location\"$
   </link>
</drilldown>

However, it doesn't work at all. I would like to find out if Splunk supports fields with whitespace from custom drill-down. If any, what is the correct way to handle it? Thanks.

Try with just $row.Network Location$
I have a similar issue, with needing the passed variable to appear in the new search as "just like this" and not just like this.
If that makes sense.

You can work-around this my using the replace function. | replace "" with "*" |

If you know the fields before-hand then you can rename the fields.
