Dashboards & Visualizations

Drilldowns in Dashboard Studio

Hi Splunk, 

I created a dashboard with various panels. Some of the panels are tables with drilldown searches allowing you to click on the value, and opening a new tab using the value clicked on ($row.user.value$) in the new search. 

However, for some reason the drilldown on one panel opens the search without populating the variable: $row.user.value$
All the other panels' drilldown searches work.

Source code of panel:

 

{
    "type": "splunk.table",
    "options": {
        "count": 100,
        "dataOverlayMode": "none",
        "drilldown": "none",
        "showRowNumbers": false,
        "showInternalFields": false
    },
    "dataSources": {
        "primary": "ds_aaaa"
    },
    "title": "Panel One (Last 30 Days)",
    "eventHandlers": [
        {
            "type": "drilldown.linkToSearch",
            "options": {
                "query": "index=\"winlog\" EventCode=4625 user=$row.user.value$",
                "earliest": "auto",
                "latest": "auto",
                "type": "custom",
                "newTab": true
            }
        }
    ],
    "context": {},
    "showProgressBar": false,
    "showLastUpdated": false
}

 


The SPL after clicking on the table value:
index="winlog" EventCode=4625 user=$row.user.value$

Why does the $row.user.value$ not populate?

I was able to fix my issue. 

I simply added the "rename" function in my main table search.

| advhunt cred=all renew=True query="DeviceProcessEvents
| where Timestamp > ago(30d)
| where FileName has 'file.exe'
| project DeviceName, FileName, ProcessCommandLine, FolderPath, AccountName"
| spath input=_raw
| stats count by AccountName,DeviceName
| sort -count



 

| advhunt cred=all renew=True query="DeviceProcessEvents
| where Timestamp > ago(30d)
| where FileName has 'file.exe'
| project DeviceName, FileName, ProcessCommandLine, FolderPath, AccountName"
| spath input=_raw
| rename AccountName as user
| stats count by user,DeviceName
| sort -count
