Solved: Re: Insert html formated result in dashboard

mclane1 · ‎03-18-2021

Hello,

I want to explain clearly to others people what to do by use case.

I create a lookup myLookup.csv :

Label, URL, Purposes, Actions
useCase1,myUrl1, purpose of the useCase1,"Do that and that and click on <a href=""link1"" target=""_blank"">link1</a>"
useCase2,myUrl2, purpose of the useCase2,"Do that and that and click on <a href=""link2"" target=""_blank"">link2</a>"
useCase3,myUrl3, purpose of the useCase3,"Do that and that and click on <a href=""link3"" target=""_blank"">link3</a>"

It's an exemple, in my case, I have some action more difficult.

My dashboard :

<form>
  <label>MyLabel</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>Select one line</title>
        <search>
          <query>|inputlookup myLookup | table Label, URL, Purposes, Actions</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="count">20</option>
        <drilldown>
          <set token="actions">$row.Actions$</set>
        </drilldown>
        <fields>["Label","URL","Purposes"]</fields>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel id="header_red">
      <title>My formated content</title>
      <html>
        <body>$actions$</body>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

Result :

Do that and that and click on <a href=""link1"" target=""_blank"">link1</a>

After some research we can add js by splunk.

It works, thank you.

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

Splunk is deployed in a production environment (unix) and requires root rights to be able to browse / edit / create files. Despite our a lot of attempts to change the rights, with each modification in the application (addition/update of a dashboard or other), the rights go back to root. It is therefore always complicated to ask a systems engineer to perform the manipulation with the ITIL standards that go with it.

Create Dashboard : less than 1 hour

Create a js file on splunk without the application : 3 days (we must ask to a lot of people and explain what we do many times)

Insert html formated result in dashboard
