Hi Splunkers..

my requirement is to keep the selection in a column chart stay highlighted unless different choice made in the same chart.

I have tried  link his approach given by @niketn, I unable to identify relevant component for the chart to td or tr for highlighting.

If someone already has an idea please help or aware of a chart supports these behavior selection-highlight out of the box please recommend.

Thanks 🙂

I am not sure it is possible with a column chart because I think the drawn element is the series not each individual column within the series.

Thanks for the response, is there any other chart you are aware of which allows this ? or way to modify the highchart?

You can create your own chart for the same purpose. I have created a POC example for you. Can you please try?

First download the chart.js from https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/chart.js and place it in appserver/static folder in search app.

 

Create dashboard XML.

 

<form script="highlight_column_on_click.js"> 
  <label>highlight column on click</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <div style="width:600px"><canvas id="myChart"></canvas></div>
      </html>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <html>
        $selected_key$ <br />
        $selected_value$
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
