Hi @aditsss,

you have to do something like the following example:

<dashboard>
  <label>Your dashboard</label>
  <search id="your_search">
    <query>
      your_search
      | fields your_fields
    </query>
    <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
    <latest>now</latest>
    <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
    <progress>
      <condition match="'job.resultCount' == 0">
        <set token="show_html">foob</set>
      </condition>
      <condition>
        <unset token="show_html"></unset>
      </condition>
    </progress>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table rejects="$show_html$">
        <title>Process</title>
        <search base="your_search">
          <query>
            | table your_fields
          </query>
        </search>
        <option name="count">100</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
      <html depends="$show_html$">
        <p style="color:red;margin-left:30px;font-size:24px">No data:</p>
        <br/>
         <p style="color:blue;margin-left:30px;font-size:24px">in search results</p>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

In few words you have to:

  • put your search as a base search;
  • add to the main search the condition to visualize panel or html;
  • add the condition to your table/chart "rejects";
  • add the html with your message in the panel.

You can find an example of this application in the Splunk Dashboard Eamples App (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/) in the dashboard "In page drilldown with perma-linking".

Hi @aditsss,

I did it for the first panel, but you can follow my approach also for the others:

<search id="my_search">
	<query>
		index="abc" sourcetype="xyz" $type$ TotalLicenses!=0 
		| lookup Org_Alias.csv OrgFolderName OUTPUT OrgName as OrgName 
		| search $OrgName$ 
		| fields OrgFolderName  LicenseName SalesforceOrgId TotalLicenses UnusedLicensesUsedLicenses
	</query>
	<earliest>$field1.earliest$</earliest>
	<latest>$field1.latest$</latest>
	<progress>
      <condition match="'job.resultCount' == 0">
        <set token="show_html">foob</set>
      </condition>
      <condition>
        <unset token="show_html"></unset>
      </condition>
    </progress>
</search>
<row>
	<panel>
		<chart rejects="$show_html$">
			<title>Overall Salesforce User Licenses</title>
			<search base="my_search">
				<query>

				</query>
				<earliest>$field1.earliest$</earliest>
				<latest>$field1.latest$</latest>
			</search>
			<option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option>

			<option name="charting.chart.style">shiny</option>
			<option name="charting.drilldown">all</option>
			<option name="charting.layout.splitSeries">0</option>
			<option name="charting.layout.splitSeries.allowIndependentYRanges">0</option>
			<option name="charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisMiddle</option>

		<html depends="$show_html$">

			<br/>
			<p style="color:blue;margin-left:30px;font-size:24px">in search results</p>
		</html>
	</panel>
</row>

Anyway, see in the Splunk Dashboard Examples App how to do this.

If you considered it as Error. Please Contact O2 Monitoring team.
</div>
</html>
</panel>

But from this its showing only at the top . But I want in each and every panel.

How can I achieve this

Hi @aditsss,

you have to put the search for the condition out of the panel, so if you have results you display the panel , otherwise you display the html box.

If you have more searches put all of them in the top of the dashboard creating a base search for each of them, eventually (if possible) grouping some of them.

Ciao.
