Solved: Drilldown to another dashboard's dropdown static o...

JIrojas · ‎04-27-2021

I have been trying to link with drilldown a panel from one dashboard to open another with a static option from a dropdown form selected. The problem is, I can't manage to create a parameter that fits both the name and the value of said static option.

What I basically need is; when clicking the VNF'S Down panel (first image below), it has to open the other Dashboard (second image below) with a drilldown static option selected (in this case, VNF), if it is possible.

Thanks!

Insert the dashboard name in the <link></link> fields. No.XML extension is needed

Here are two dashboards, with the first linking to the second and passing the type/state and count to the second dashboard.

The link element has form.xxx with the value of the field attribute it wants selected.

Dashboard 1

<dashboard>
  <label>VFNs</label>
  <search id="base">
    <query>| makeresults
| eval VFNs_Up=1297, VFNs_Down=4
| fields VFNs_*</query>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>VFNs UP</title>
      <single>
        <search base="base">
          <query>
| eval Item="VFN", State="Up"
| rename VFNs_Up as Count
| table Count Item State
          </query>
        </search>
        <option name="colorMode">block</option>
        <option name="drilldown">all</option>
        <option name="rangeColors">["0x53a051","0x53a051"]</option>
        <option name="rangeValues">[0]</option>
        <option name="useColors">1</option>
        <drilldown>
          <link target="_blank">vfns2?form.device_type=$row.Item$&amp;form.device_state=$row.State$&amp;device_count=$row.Count$</link>
        </drilldown>
      </single>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <title>VFNs Down</title>
      <single>
        <search base="base">
          <query>

| rename VFNs_Down as Count
| table Count Item State
          </query>
        </search>
        <option name="colorMode">block</option>
        <option name="drilldown">all</option>
        <option name="rangeColors">["0xdc4e41","0xdc4e41"]</option>
        <option name="rangeValues">[0]</option>
        <option name="useColors">1</option>
        <drilldown>

Your drilldown can pass parameters on the url to set tokens (of dropdowns) in the target dashboard (see this earlier answer https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Transfer-tokens-from-dashboard-to-dashboar...)
