Hi

I try to make field which contains a plain URL (https://www.example.com/?parmaters) clickable. Therefore I use the drilldown feature with

        <condition field="session_url">
          <link>
             $click.value2$
          </link>
      </condition>
    </drilldown>

If I click on the field I get an error message. Does someone know a solution for this?

Regards,
Egon

You would need to use external java script to achieve the same. Have a look at following link

OR see the example "Drilldown URL Field Value" in the Splunk 6.x Dashboard example app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/)

For me it works once I concatenate the static part of the URL with the parameters as in the example below. In your case you would need to extract the "sessionid" field.

<drilldown target="_blank">
   <condition field="session_url">
     <link>http://www.example.com?sessionid=$row.sessionid$</link>
   </condition>
 </drilldown>

Hi michtek

I know concatenate works. But if you the variable contains the whole URL, splunk prepends:
http://yoursplunkserver:8080/de-DE/app/search/

This is the problem I am facing

Try using CDATA to encode the URL. Like this `'
