I want to show the time range of that panel that a dashboard has ran from the time select drop -down.For instance , if I select last 90 mins  at 1PM from time select the dashboard panel should show the time like  earliest_time= 11:30:00 AM to Latest_Time:13:00:00 .

 

I tried using            $field2.earliest$ To Latest_Time: $field2.latest$ but the output is showing as below

 Earliest_Time: -90m@m To Latest_Time: now

 

 

Thanks in Advance

It's not clear where in the dashboard the tokens are used, but you may be able to use strftime() and relative_time() to convert tokens to better text.

 

eval start=strftime(relative_time(now(),$field2.earliest|s$), "%c"), 
eval end=strftime(relative_time(now(),$field2.latest|s$), "%c")

Hi @vrmandadi,

you could use addinfo command to extract the time borders of your search and then display them in a search, somethinh like this:

| makeresults 
| addinfo
| eval info_min_time=strftime(info_min_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), info_max_time=strftime(info_max_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| table info_min_time info_max_time

and then display one value in a Single Value Panel.

Ciao.

Sorry for not explaining correctly ..I want the time to be displayed on the  panel title of a dashboard.It should show the earliest and latest time of the time select which was selected from dropdown.

Assuming if the time is 1 PM now and I select last 90 mins from timeselect  dropdown for the dashboard it should show like below

The panel time range is : earliest_time= 11:30:00 AM to Latest_Time:13:00:00 .

 

I tried using            $field2.earliest$ To Latest_Time: $field2.latest$ but the output is showing as below

 Earliest_Time: -90m@m To Latest_Time: now

You could use addinfo to get the info_min_time (earliest) and info_max_time (latest) in your search and create tokens in a done handler from the result of the search.

As part of the search for the panel, add a done handler - note that the result field you want must be in the first row of the results - also note that if you use field names with a leading underscore, they won't show up in your table but should be available to the done handler

    </query>
    <done>
      <eval token="tokenname">$result._fieldname$</eval>
    </done>
  </search>
