How to accomplish a cell based drill down?

Hello - 

I have a table with several columns:

Host Src IP Dest IP Src Port Dest Port
myHost 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 50000 80

 

I would like to have cell based drills downs.  For example, Host would drill down into a dashboard called host_detail.xml, the rest of the columns would fill the value of the clicked cell to the appropriate filter token.
The tokens are called src_ip_tok, dest_ip_tok, src_port_tok, and dest_port_tok. 

How would I accomplish this?

Thank you.

What you describe is row-based drilldown, not cell-based.  In cell-based drilldown, each cell in a row has a different drilldown destination, but here the cells are just arguments to a shared drilldown.

In the drilldown definition, specify the arguments using the format $row.<<column>>$.

$row.Host$ $row.Src IP$ $row.Dest IP$ $row.Src Port$ $row.Dest Port$

Note that column names are used rather than token names.

Thank you, regarding this:

each cell in a row has a different drilldown destination

What would the XML look like if each cell had a different drilldown destination?

I could try to explain it, but I think this answer does it better than I could.  https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-set-a-different-drilldown-for-each-cell-in-a-ta...
