I currently have a table on my dashboard that filters specific fields from my data log and when you click on a specific field of table it opens the log on a new web page. Is there a way I can open the data log under my table on the dashboard?
What you're speaking of is called "In-page" OR "Contextual" drilldown. The Splunk 6.x Dashboard example app has examples of that under "Drilldown element". https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/
For your reference, the example code is this (run anywhere code, works on 6.2,6.3,6.4 version
<form>
<label>In-Page Drilldown with Perma-linking</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false">
<!--
Create an input to store the drilldown value. It will be hidden using custom javascript when
the dashboard is loaded.
-->
<input type="text" token="sourcetype" searchWhenChanged="true"/>
</fieldset>
<row>
<table id="master">
<title>Master</title>
<search>
<query>index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype</query>
<earliest>-60m@m</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</search>
<!-- Set the type of of drilldown, since we will always consume the same field, use row-->
<option name="drilldown">row</option>
<drilldown>
<!-- Use set to specify the new token to be created.
Use any token from the page or from the click event to produce the value needed. -->
<set token="sourcetype">$row.sourcetype$</set>
<!-- If we also set the form.sourcetype the input will get updated too -->
<set token="form.sourcetype">$row.sourcetype$</set>
</drilldown>
</table>
</row>
<row>
<!-- depends is the way we tell the content to only show when the token has a value.
Hint: use comma separated values if the element requires more than one token. -->
<chart id="detail" depends="$sourcetype$">
<title>Detail: $sourcetype$</title>
<search>
<query>index=_internal sourcetype=$sourcetype$ | timechart count</query>
<earliest>-60m@m</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</search>
</chart>
</row>
</form>
See if this gives you any ideas. Create an events panel to drilldown to
