Dashboards & Visualizations

Dashboard with a partial search bar

Hello All,

I am trying  to create a dashboard with an interactive input search bar. The field that is searchable has always 16 digits but I want the users to only search with the 6 first digits, for example they will inform a number 123456, and whatever occurrence with the "123456" will show in the report.

I tried to use the sufix field, putting an "*" but it failed, I also tried to include the "*" in the search with the token but it also failed.

Is there any way to do it?

 

Thank you in a dvancne!

Hi @lsbarreto96 

I assume you are using Splunk classic simple xml style dashboard, I have tested following and it works with suffix. Can you compare with source code if this works?

 

<form>
  <label>Test</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="text" token="token_name">
      <label>Field Name</label>
      <suffix>*</suffix>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype=$token_name$</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
