How to add time range to the exported PDF in dashboard?

[prateedshetty]

While sharing the pdf with the stakeholders they have requested to know what the timerange is. Is there anyway we can print this in PDF from the input time picker?

hey try this :
You can add a single value panel as mentioned below to get the search timeline.

 <dashboard>
       <label>ShowSearchDate</label>
       <description/>
       <row>
         <panel>
           <single>
             <searchString>|gentimes start=-1 | addinfo | convert ctime(*) | eval reportDate=info_min_time." to ".info_max_time | table reportDate</searchString>
             <earliestTime>-60m@m</earliestTime>
             <latestTime>now</latestTime>
             <option name="drilldown">none</option>
             <option name="beforeLabel">Report Date:</option>
             <option name="linkView">search</option>
             <option name="afterLabel">.</option>
           </single>
         </panel>
       </row>
       <row>
         <panel>
           <chart>
             <title>Internal Sourcetype Distribution Report</title>
             <searchString>index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype</searchString>
             <earliestTime>-60m@m</earliestTime>
             <latestTime>now</latestTime>
           </chart>
         </panel>
       </row>
     </dashboard>

just change query with your report query in second panel and apply same time_range to both the panels

let me know if this helps you!

It worked! Thanks Mayur.

1. So I added this query in the Dashboard source edit.
2. Then added a Time input field.
3. Made the query use Shared time picker.

Worked as expected! 🙂
