How to send value from one dashboard drilldown into the linked dashboard

[SudeepDell]

I currently have a dashboard that displays a bunch of nodes (for example, Firewall1). When I click on that node, it drills down to a dashboard that contains a bunch of metrics, such as response time and CPU usage. As of right now, every node on the main dashboard links to the same secondary one, which has a drop down list to filter all the queries for the metrics by the node that you want to look at. Instead of have this done manually, is there a way to where when I click on Firewall1 and get send to the dashboard with the metrics, I can pass the Node Name value (which would be "Firewall1") into the other dashboard's queries so that they automatically load the metrics for Firewall1?

Hi @SudeepDell,

You could use form.token_name to pass the parameter. See below example

Main Dashboard with node (sourcetype in my case)

<dashboard>
  <label>DrillDown</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <search>
          <query>|stats count|eval node="splunkd"|fields - count</query>
          <earliest>-1s</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">all</option>
        <drilldown>
          <link target="_blank">/app/search/metric?form.node=$click.value2$</link>
        </drilldown>
      </single>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Drilldown dashboard with metrics

<form>
  <label>Metric</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="dropdown" token="node">
      <label>Node</label>
      <fieldForLabel>sourcetype</fieldForLabel>
      <fieldForValue>sourcetype</fieldForValue>
      <search>
        <query>index=_*|stats count by sourcetype</query>
        <earliest>-15m</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </search>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <chart>
        <search>
          <query>index=_* sourcetype=$node$|timechart span=1m count</query>
          <earliest>-5m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="charting.chart">line</option>
        <option name="charting.drilldown">none</option>
      </chart>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

@SudeepDell, did it work for you?
