Making dashboard efficient

Hi,

(I have attached the code I have used as a 'Run anywhere' example.)

WHAT I HAVE
I have a dashboard which initally displays a list of batch jobs,

  • Batch Job 1
  • Batch Job 2
  • Batch Job 3
  • Batch Job 4

When I click on any of the job names, I want 2 tables to be displayed below it,

Latest Job information, Job statistics

I have managed to make this work by using the logic,

  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
      <a href="?showBatchJob1=true">
          <h1>Batch Job 1</h1>
        </a>
    </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row depends="$showBatchJob1$">
<!---------------------------------------------------
Code to display the two tables 
------------------------------------------------------>
</row>

WHAT I NEED:

The problem is, when each of the links are clicked, the entire page is reloaded and the data is taking a long time to load.
Is there a quicker way of doing this?

Thanks,
Deepak

@deepak02, You can use link input instead of html anchor tags if you just want to set or unset the token. Following is an example of Link Switcher that you can use.

<input type="link" token="selToken">
  <label></label>
  <choice value="linkBatchJob1">Show Batch Job 1</choice>
  <choice value="linkBatchJob2">Show Batch Job 2</choice>
  <choice value="linkBatchJob3">Show Batch Job 2</choice>
  <change>
    <condition value="linkBatchJob1">
      <set token="showBatchJob1">true</set>
      <unset token="showBatchJob2"></unset>
      <unset token="showBatchJob3"></unset>
    </condition>
    <condition value="linkBatchJob2">
      <unset token="showBatchJob1"></unset>
      <set token="showBatchJob2">true</set>
      <unset token="showBatchJob3"></unset>
    </condition>
    <condition value="linkBatchJob1">
      <unset token="showBatchJob1"></unset>
      <unset token="showBatchJob2"></unset>
      <set token="showBatchJob3">true</set>
    </condition>
    <condition>
      <unset token="showBatchJob1"></unset>
      <unset token="showBatchJob2"></unset>
      <unset token="showBatchJob3"></unset>
    </condition>
  </change>
</input>

As far as performance optimization is concerned, have you posted original queries or are these some random mock queries?

Since you have provided mock queries, refer to following documents if you want to figure out search query optimization on your own:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Search/Quicktipsforoptimization
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Search/Writebettersearches
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Search/Realtimeperformanceandlimitations

If you want the community to help with specific query optimization, you will have to provide actual search query.
