How to display my dashboard even when an optional drilldown parameter is not present?

[etam]

Hi,

I'm trying to overload an existing dashboard, so that it could generate regardless if the drilldown parameter exists or not.

I want the dashboard to work even if I didn't pass $p_Time_Ago$ in the URL. Currently, it will show as "Search is waiting for input...", if the parameter value is not present.

[|stats c | addinfo | eval earliest=info_min_time-$p_Time_Ago$| eval latest=info_max_time-$p_Time_Ago$ | return earliest latest]  

Thanks,
Eva

If you are using Splunk 6.5, this is now supported natively in Simple XML.
Example:

<form>
    <init>
      <set token="p_Time_Ago">INITIAL_VALUE</set>
   </init>
 ...
 </form>

Reference # Set tokens on page load

Thanks! I'm on 6.4.1.

Is there any other way to get around it for older version?
