I'm trying to create a dropdown based on the following query:
index=MyApp tgtHostname=$tgtHostname$
The form is there and the default value of "any" seems to work. However the dropdown is not populated. Any idea why? Thanks.
<form>
<label>My form search</label>
<searchTemplate>index=MyApp tgtHostname=$tgtHostname$</searchTemplate>
<fieldset>
<input type="dropdown" token="tgtHostname">
<label>Select the hostname</label>
<populatingSearch fieldForValue="tgtHostname" fieldForLabel="tgtHostname"><![CDATA[index=MyApp tgtHostname=$tgtHostname$]]></populatingSearch>
<default>somehost.somedomain.com</default>
<choice value="*">Any</choice>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<table>
<title>Host Names</title>
<option name="showPager">true</option>
</table>
</row>
</form>
<form>
<label>My form search</label>
<searchTemplate>index=MyApp tgtHostname=$tgtHostname$</searchTemplate>
<fieldset>
<input type="dropdown" token="tgtHostname">
<label>Select the hostname</label>
<populatingSearch fieldForValue="tgtHostname" fieldForLabel="tgtHostname"><![CDATA[index=MyApp | stats count by tgtHostname]]></populatingSearch>
<default>somehost.somedomain.com</default>
<choice value="*">Any</choice>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<title>Host Names</title>
<option name="showPager">true</option>
</row>
</form>

Watch your syntax as well. It's not shown here since the code sample widget didn't work for me, but make sure you have an upper Case T in searchTemplate, Uppercase F and L in fieldForLabel and uppercase F and V in fieldForValue
I have no clue why the code sample box isn't working for me, but that should do it for you.
