How to pass lookup field values to the time range?
Hello,
I have a lookup file which has fields Month, earliest, latest. I have drop down name "Month" which gives me the list of all the months from the lookup table. When I choose a month from the drop down the respective values of the earliest and the latest should be passed to the searches or time range token in the dashboard.
Month earliest latest

Just thought of sharing this. If date time values are in timeformat %m/%d/%Y:%H:%M:%S, then you can search earliest and latest with them directly. So below query also works.
index=_internal earliest="02/21/2020:05:00:00" latest="02/21/2020:05:05:00"

@manjunathmeti , yes.
| inputlookup your_csv
| eval query="(earliest=".earliest." "."latest=".latest.")"
It's OK.

@to4kawa Thank you! It worked..
But I wanted to use the result of the query to change the token using eval. But it's not working.
I need to check a specific value of the earliest from the result. If it matches then I need to use the token and assign some other value to it.
The token value is not getting effected in the panel. Can you help me on this?
<input type="dropdown" token="timepicker" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>time piker</label>
<fieldForLabel>Month</fieldForLabel>
<fieldForValue>query</fieldForValue>
<search>
<query>| inputlookup sample_file
| foreach *est [ eval <<FIELD>> = round(strptime(<<FIELD>>,"%m/%d/%Y:%T"))]
| eval query="(earliest=".earliest." "."latest=".latest.")"
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>
<change>
<eval token="abc">if('query.earliest'= 1577817000, (earliest=1577817000 latest=15777903400), (earliest=1577817000 latest=15777903405))</eval>
</change>
</input>
<panel>
<html>token value: $timepicker$ $abc$</html>
</panel>

<change>
<eval token="abc">if(mvindex(split($timepicker$,"="),1) = 1577817000,"(earliest=1577817000 latest=1577903400)", "(earliest=1577817000 latest=1577903405)")</eval>
</change>
query.earliest is nothing.
