Dashboards & Visualizations

Dependent date on charts

I was trying to build a dashboard that displayed data in a table for a certain date and also display the same table layout for a date 7 days behind.

Is there a way to show both tables with only one TimeRangePicker?

You can use appendcols in your search:

Here's an example to show disk usage -18h@h - 16h@h ago to disk usage -2h@h - @h.

sourcetype="*disk*" counter="% Free Space" NOT _Total earliest="-18h@h" latest="-16h@h"|eval "NewValue"=round(Value,0)| stats min("NewValue") by host|rename host as Hostname min(NewValue) as "Percent Free -18h@h - -16h@h"| appendcols[search sourcetype="*disk*" counter="% Free Space" NOT _Total earliest="-2h@h" latest="@h"|eval "NewValue1"=round(Value,0)| stats min("NewValue1") by host|rename host as Hostname min(NewValue1) as "Percent Free -2h@h - @h"] Only make your appendcols search the constant and your 1st search the dynamic one to be changed by TimeRangePicker.

Here's an example advanced xml snippet:

<module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="GroupName" autoRun="True">
<param name="search">sourcetype="*disk*" counter="% Free Space" NOT _Total 
|eval "NewValue"=round(Value,0)
|stats min("NewValue") by host
|rename host as Hostname min(NewValue) as "Percent Free -18h@h - -16h@h"
|appendcols[search sourcetype="*disk*" counter="% Free Space" NOT _Total earliest="$1$" latest="$2$"
|eval "NewValue1"=round(Value,0)
|stats min("NewValue1") by host
|rename host as Hostname min(NewValue1) as "Percent Free $1$ - $2$"]</param>

Updated above, but please note in the advanced xml search string you cant use <>@ etc. You want to use & lt; & gt; & amp; (without spaces)

Will it always be 7 days apart? If so just -7d on the appendcols.

The 1st one changes just fine this way, however both need to be dynamic. The second one needs to be changed dynamically too based on the first one.

For example, I choose the 24th of May for the first table, I want the second table to automatically choose the 17th of May.
