Horizon Chart Custom Visualization does not support drilldown. How to enable drilldown to get the split by field name and clicked value as tokens.

PS: Documenting answer for Simple XML JS extension to enable drilldown. Custom Viz can be enhanced to send the drilldown tokens.

Simple XML JS Extension can be used to enable drilldown for Horizon Chart Custom Visualization. Then Splunk JS stack can be used to set the required tokens and send back to Simple XML dashboards.

In our example we are using Horizon Chart with id starting with horizon_drilldown_ for the tokens to be created and work. For example if Horizon Chart has id=horizon_drilldown_a1, the respective drilldown tokens would be horizon_drilldown_a1.field and horizon_drilldown_a1.value.

Following is a run anywhere example based on Splunk's _internal data and has two charts, horizon_drilldown_names_trending and horizon_drilldown_2.

<dashboard script="horizon_drilldown.js">
  <label>Horizon Chart Drilldown</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Visualization id must start with horizon_drilldown_ | Tokens field and value are generated based on visualization ids. Refer to examples below:</title>

Following is the required Simple XML JS extension i.e. horizon_drilldown.js, to be placed under your Splunk apps /appserver/static folder.

require(["jquery", "splunkjs/mvc", "splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"], function ($, mvc) {
    console.log("Inside Horizon Chart Click handler");
    var defaultTokenModel = mvc.Components.get("default");
    var submittedTokenModel = mvc.Components.get("submitted");
    // Enable drilldown for Horizon Chart with id starting with horizon_drilldown_ (prefix)
    // So it would work for ids like horizon_drilldown_a1, horizon_drilldown_a2 ...
    $(document).on("click", 'div[id^="horizon_drilldown_"] div.splunk-horizon-chart div.horizon canvas', function () {
        // Find the Horizon Chart ID 
        // based on nearest Dashboard Element Data View with id starting with horizon_drilldown_
        var horizon_chart_id = $(this).closest('div[data-view="views/dashboard/element/DashboardElement"][id^="horizon_drilldown_"]').attr("id");
        // The first span under canvas node contains split by field name
        var field = $(this).next()
        var strField = field.text();
        // The second span under canvas node contains selected value
        var value = field.next()
        var strValue = value.text();
        // Set the token based on Horizon Chart ID.
        // For example horizon_drilldown_a1 will generate two tokens
        // horizon_drilldown_a1.field and horizon_drilldown_a1.value
        // Set and unset both Default and Submitted Token Models.
        if (strField !== undefined) {
            defaultTokenModel.set(horizon_chart_id + ".field", strField);
            submittedTokenModel.set(horizon_chart_id + ".field", strField);
        } else {
            defaultTokenModel.unset(horizon_chart_id + ".field");
            submittedTokenModel.unset(horizon_chart_id + ".field");
        }
        if (strValue !== undefined) {
            defaultTokenModel.set(horizon_chart_id + ".value", strValue);
            submittedTokenModel.set(horizon_chart_id + ".value", strValue);
        } else {
            defaultTokenModel.unset(horizon_chart_id + ".value");
            submittedTokenModel.unset(horizon_chart_id + ".value");
        }
    });
});
