How to keep the IP constant in a dashboard's dropdown menu when navigating through other pages?

[NandithaSwamy]

Hi,

I have a dashboard designed with a dropdown menu which contains multiple IP's which are loaded dynamically. But when i select one IP address in one page, it loads data of that IP address; and when i navigate through other pages, it defaults to the first IP address in the dropdown menu and loads that data. I don't want that to happen. I want the IP i selected to be remain constant in all pages until and unless i change. Is there any way to do it in Splunk?

Thank you.

You would need to pass the selected IP Address to next dashboard/page when you're navigating/drilling-down. This requires that the token name set for the dropdown is same across all navigating dashboards/pages. See following links for more details on dynamic drilldown, passing token while drilling down.
