How do I use a Paginator inside a HiddenPostProcess?

[Jason]

Or any type of PostProcess, for that matter? The Paginator appears to take the number of table rows from the original HiddenSavedSearch, not the search properly transformed by my HiddenPostProcess. Do I have to somehow pass it a new row count?

My apologies if it looks horrible; it's likely just an automatic translation from Simple XML.

          <module name="HiddenSearch">
            <param name="search">search... | stats count by foo bar</param>
            <!-- say this returns 3000 table lines. -->    
            <module name="HiddenPostProcess" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="Rows of Foo" autoRun="False">
              <param name="search">
                  search foo="narroweddown" | stats sum(count) by bar | head 30 
              </param>
              <!-- should only have 30 rows, not 3000! -->
              <param name="groupLabel">Tags by Device</param>
              <module name="ViewstateAdapter">
                <param name="suppressionList">
                  <item>displayRowNumbers</item>
                  <item>drilldown</item>
                  <item>count</item>
                </param>
                <module name="HiddenFieldPicker">
                  <param name="strictMode">True</param>
                  <module name="JobProgressIndicator"/>
                  <module name="Paginator">
                    <param name="entityName">results</param>
                    <param name="count">10</param>
                    <!-- How do I get this to show only 3 pages of 10, not 10+, since there are only 30 rows returned by the postprocess? -->
                    <module name="EnablePreview">
                      <param name="display">False</param>
                      <param name="enable">True</param>
                      <module name="SimpleResultsTable">
                        <param name="displayRowNumbers">true</param>
                        <param name="entityName">results</param>
                        <param name="allowTransformedFieldSelect">True</param>
                        <param name="count">10</param>
                        <module name="Gimp"/>
                      </module>
                      <module name="ViewRedirectorLink">
                        <param name="viewTarget">restricted_results_view</param>
                        <param name="popup">True</param>
                      </module>
                    </module>
                  </module>
                </module>
              </module>
            </module>
          </module>

The core postprocess module can not be used with a paginator. Sideview's PostProcess/pager module works around this core limitation. VMware will ship with a patch in the core paginator module that fixes this limitation and we are working with the core team to get this functionality back into our core product.

Take a look under splunk_for_vmware's application.js. The patch is done under there.

Any idea where? I see a SOLNPostProcess in SA-Utils from VMW2.0.1 but nothing related to a paginator. I'll try that post process and see if it fixes the paginator in an module.

VMware 2.0

VMware... 2.0? Or an update to 1.x?

Pretty sure this is a limitation. Sideview Utils has its own modules that fix this
