How to use submitOnDashboardLoad option in normal xml splunk dashboard?

[rishav]

I'm not able to figure out how to use submitOnDashboardLoad in the normal xml dashboard. Where shall I put it. I've tried putting it in the form, search, fieldset, and as option name but its not working.

In Splunk Dashboard Studio submitOnDashboardLoad will be used with the Layout option and Submit button.

Please refer below link for Splunk Dashboard Studio submitOnDashboardLoad.

If you want similar behavior in Simple XML Dashboard then you should go with the below options.

1) For setting up default token values then use the <init> tag. Refer to the below links

• https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#dashboard_or_f...
• https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Viz/tokens#Set_tokens_on_page_load

2) For setting up tokens from the output of SPL then you need to <search> tag.

• https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#search
• use <done> in <search> to get the result value and set your required token,
• <done>: Execute actions based on finished search events. Includes job properties and first result row.

 <search>
    <query>| makeresults count=1 
| eval value="Test" </query>
    <done>
      <condition match="$job.doneProgress$=1">
        <set token="value">$result.value$</set>
      </condition>
    </done>
  </search>

• https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Viz/tokens#Using_tokens_in_a_search
• To handle submit button action you need to go through Splunk Javascript Extention
• https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/visualizedata/usewebframework/modifydashboards/ 

Example:

require([
    'underscore',
    'jquery',
    'splunkjs/mvc',
    'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
], function(_, $, mvc) {
    console.log("LAZY!!!");
    var defaultTokenModel = mvc.Components.get('default');
    var submittedTokenModel = mvc.Components.get("submitted");
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('input#submitbutton').click(function() {
            //Setting up the token OR execute your logic 
            defaultTokenModel.set("dummy", 1);
            //Update the submit model
            submittedTokenModel.set(defaultTokenModel.toJSON());
        });
    });
});

I hope these few tips will help you.

Thanks

e.g <input type=drop-down submit=true autorun=true>
