Hi,

we want to display the selected time range in another dashboard (via drilldown). We already use the $earliest$ and $latest$ so that we can display the time range with "from" "to".
Our goal is now to display the label of the selected time range in the second dashboard as well. e.g. "Last 7 Days" or "Current Year"

I already set an eval to calculate the duration

<eval token="diff">tostring((tokLatestTime - tokEarliestTime), "duration")</eval>
<eval token="durationStr">tostring(floor(diff))</eval>

but it is not really what we are looking for.

Step by step:
1) Choose time range in Dashboard 1 --> e.g. Last 7 Days
2) Click on table --> Drilldown via link

 <drilldown>
       <link target="_blank">/app/myapp/dashboard2?earliest=$earliest$&amp;latest=$latest$&amp;TimeLabel=????</link>
 </drilldown>

3) Show TimeLabel on Dashboard2

Do you have an idea how to get this label?

best regards
Thomas

      <default>
        <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
      <change>
        <set token="timelabel">$label$</set>
      </change>

  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>

          <query>index="_internal" |stats count by host</query>
          <earliest>$timepicker.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$timepicker.latest$</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="count">10</option>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>

Hi,

thanks for your response. It works nearly perfect. But in some cases e.g. "Current Year" or "Today" the label shows "Custom Time". Is that a normal behaviour?
best regards
