Why is Dropdown not working with base search?

[POR160893]

Hi,

I have a dropdown with 3 options. When I select one of the option, the value should be in the token and passed to a base search. However, on the panel that uses this base search, the input never appears to be understood:

Here is the XML code for the dropdown and base search and panel:

Can you please help?


Many thanks,
Patrick

Hi @POR160893,

generally when you use a baseSearch, you have to put at the end of the base search all the fields you want to use in the panels, but I suppose that in your case the problem is tha you're not using the base search, so you should try to use $dropdown_TOK$ in the searches withou using base search, in other words:

<row>
  <panel>
    <title>
    <chart>
      <search>
        <query>
        $dropdown_TOK$
        | timechart span=1h count(src) AS "TOTAL"
        </query>
      </search>
    </chart>
  </panel>
</row>

Ciao.

Perfect, this now works 😀.

However, now, one of the 3 options appears to be generating the following error upon looking the chart:

Do I need to add something else onto the XML to supress this error message?

Hi @POR160893,

this is a different problem, you have too many results that cannot be displayed in the chart,

you have to reduce them or change visualization.

If you search in Community there are many answer about solving this topic.
