Dashboards & Visualizations

URL in dashboard

I have a text which is a URL. I am grouping my results and showing in a dashboard.

sourcetype="xyz" | stats count by AppName, URL

Now when I click on the URL, i want it to redirect to that specific URL page either in the same or new window.
How do I mention the link in my XML?

Lets say I have www.google.com on my URL field value ... when i click it ... i want google to be opened.

Well here is how i did it through Javascript
I simply use jquery .on to say if what they clicked on in the detail table is myfirstfield, then open the value which is the URL etc, i use Window.Open and pass a name of the window so they don't open a million popups.

splunkjs.mvc.Components.getInstance("example-table-detail").on("click", function (e) {
if(e.field === "Values"){

if(e.data["click.value"] === "MyFirstField")  
{
    if(e.data["click.value2"] != "" && e.data["click.value2"] != null ){
    window.open(e.data["click.value2"],"NameOfWindow");}
}

if(e.data["click.value"] === "MySecondField"){
    if(e.data["click.value2"] != "" && e.data["click.value2"] != null ){
    window.open(e.data["click.value2"],"NameOfWindowTwo");}
}

}
 });

You may have to look at using the API to build your own dashboard with clickable links like that. Any of the SDK options or the REST API will do that quite nicely for you.

You should answer in more detail as a separate answer to help the original poster!

I have this functionality in an app I just created. I used SplunkJS to accomplish using the Web Framework, you can intercept the click and call javascript to open a new window.
