how to refresh a panel values based on input token

krishnarajb2304
Explorer

Right now refreshing the panel using <option name="refresh.auto.interval">120</option>

would like to keep the drop down (token=refresh) 30,60,120,never. Tried to populate with <option name="refresh.auto.interval">$refresh$</option>

Anyway thoughts will be helpful?

@krishnarajb2304, refresh.auto.interval has been deprecated. Post Splunk Enterprise 6.5 onwards, you should be using <refresh> option within search to refresh the panel/s which is/are dependent on the same. Parameter to refresh option can be passed as token similar to the way you intend to via Simple XML. Following is an example (PS: You should be on 6.5 or later for using both refresh and init option as used in the following example).

I have set Interval as 2 minute (2m) in the init section using set command

<dashboard>
    <label>Auto Refresh Search and Panel/s</label>
      <init>
        <set token="Interval">2m</set>
      </init>
      <row>
        <panel>
          <single>
            <search>
              <query>index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd log_level!="INFO"
    | stats count</query>
              <earliest>-7d@d</earliest>
              <latest>now</latest>
              <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
              <refresh>$Interval$</refresh>
            </search>
            <option name="drilldown">none</option>
          </single>
        </panel>
      </row>
</dashboard>

<refresh>$Interval$</refresh> sets the Search to refresh every 2 minutes through the token set in the init section.
