How to reset dashboard tokens using XML?

amcb90 · ‎06-17-2020

In the past I once knew how to create a single radio button that, when selected, would reset all desired dashboard tokens, by using XML. This button would also reset itself back to being de-selected (not filled). Does anyone know how to do this?

I learned how to do this previously in one Splunk's courses but I am not entirely sure which course it was. (SF 1-3 or Adv. DB Creation)

@amcb90 if you do not want to use JS you can also create and anchor html tag which would reload itself in the same browser, hence resetting the form tokens. Try by adding the following html panel in your existing dashboard and test.

    <panel id="panelRefresh">
      <html>
        <div style="float:right">
          <a href="/app/$env:app$/$env:page$" style="display:flex">
            <i class="icon-rotate"/>
            <div style="padding-left:5px;">Reset</div>
          </a>
        </div>
      </html>
    </panel>

If it works you can format the panel content as per your needs and then create a pre built panel as per one of my older answers: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-unset-tokens-for-all-filters-and-se...

Hi @amcb90 ,

I took this solution from answers:

  <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="false">
    <input type="radio" token="resetTokens" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label></label>
      <choice value="reset">Reset Inputs</choice>
      <choice value="retain">Retain</choice>
      <default>retain</default>
      <change>
        <condition value="reset">
          <unset token="token1"></unset>
          <unset token="token2"></unset>
          <unset token="form.token1"></unset>
          <unset token="form.token2"></unset>
          <set token="resetTokens">retain</set>
          <set token="form.resetTokens">retain</set>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>

adding this code to the input section (Fieldset).

Ciao.
