Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to add tooltip to splunk table headers?

i have headers like header1, header2, header3. i want to show different tooltips for each headers.

i got to know about adding tooltip to table data (https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Can-tooltip-be-used-on-Splunk-table-header... ), but using that i am not able to add tooltip to table headers.

Thanks,

          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>

  </row>
</dashboard>

 

 

table_header_tooltip.js

 

require([
    'underscore',
    'jquery',
    'splunkjs/mvc',
    'splunkjs/mvc/tableview',
    'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
], function(_, $, mvc, TableView) {

    console.log("Hie 1");
    mvc.Components.get('tbl1').getVisualization(function(tableView) {
        tableView.on('rendered', function() {
            console.log("on rendered");
            tableView.$el.find(`[data-sort-key='Header 1']`).find("a").attr({
                "data-toggle": "tooltip",
                "data-placement": "left",
                "title": "My Tool Tip Value 1"
            });
            tableView.$el.children('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
            tableView.table.render();
        });
    });
});
