Need a sample code to produce a dynamic number of panels in a dashboard based on a form input. Anybody successful in achieving it?
Thanks
HI splunk403,
there is a way you can selectively show or hide panels based on the drop down selection.
Take this run everywhere dashboard to see how the panels change based on the drop down section:
<form>
<label>Show panels dynamically based on drop down selection</label>

<search id="internal_data">
<query>index=_internal earliest=-1h@h latest=now | table _time, source, sourcetype, host</query>
</search>
<fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="dropdown" token="category" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>select panel to show:</label>
<choice value="1">Panel1</choice>
<choice value="2">Panel2</choice>
<choice value="3">Panel3</choice>

Hope this helps ...
cheers, MuS
MuS thanks! I learned something new today 🙂
Thanks MuS .This help when the number panels are predefined .
Any clue for dynamics number of panels .
For SimpleXML it is predefined, but I'm sure you can do it as you mentioned using the web framework.
My two cents: I would simply use a table panel (maybe with some overlay and spark line?) to show the two metrics for the various numbers of servers.
Any clue how to do it ?
Can you elaborate on the use case? what exactly are you trying to achieve?
I dont think the feature you are asking for exists.
For a server i am creating two panels for two of its resouces .Now the requirement is when i select Frame(group of servers) it has to display the two panels for each of the server .
Number of servers in a frame will be dyanmic ,so when I select a frame the number of display panels will be different .
Hope this helps .
Thanks
Moreover ,i tried referring to below links which suggested to use web-frameworks .So was just looking for a sample code .
