Creating A Drop Down for multiple Panel within Das...

Good Morning, Fellow Splunkers

I have a few questions pertaining implementation of drop down menu to help manage multiple panels within Dashboard? I don't have admin access to install any variations of scripts. Would it be possible to create a drop down menu from the dashboard options? If so what would be the process?

I don't use a dropdown, I use checkboxes, but you might be able to manage this with a dropdown. When unchecked, the panels will not appear. Keep adding panels and depends on the panel tokens.

  <row>
    <panel>
      <input type="checkbox" token="panel1" searchWhenChanged="true">
        <label>panel1</label>
        <choice value="true">Show</choice>
        <change>
          <condition label="Show">
            <set token="panel1">true</set>
          </condition>
        </change>
        <default>true</default>
      </input>
      <input type="checkbox" token="panel2" searchWhenChanged="true">
        <label>panel2</label>
        <choice value="true">Show</choice>
        <change>
          <condition label="Show">
            <set token="panel2">true</set>
          </condition>
        </change>
        <default>true</default>
      </input>
      <input type="checkbox" token="panel3" searchWhenChanged="true">
        <label>panel3</label>
        <choice value="true">Show</choice>
        <change>
              <condition label="Show">
                <set token="panel3">true</set>
              </condition>
            </change>
            <default>true</default>
          </input>
       </panel>
      </row>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel depends="$panel1$">
      <single>
        <search>
          <query>...</query>
        </search>
      </single>
</row>

I don't know if I correctly understood you need: you cannot manage App menu so you would launch dashboards using another dashboard?
If this is your need you could create a dashboard with html panels and launch dashboards from it.

  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <h2>Security Operations</h2>
        <ul>
          <a target="_blank" href="/app/myapp1"><img src="/static/app/navigator/appIcon.png" style="height:40px;border:0;"/> > My App 1</a>
        </ul>
        <ul>
          <a target="_blank" href="/app/myapp2"><img src="/static/app/myapp2/appIcon.png" style="height:40px;border:0;"/> > My App 2</a>
        </ul>
      </html>
  </row>

Bye.

Are you trying to hide certain panels?

asarran · ‎10-17-2016

Yes, I have multiple panels within my dashboard and at times it can be overwhelming. I would like to implement a dropdown solution.
