Getting Data In

Drop Down based on its filename

Azwaliyana
Path Finder

I have a filename like this


-11112021_MOS.csv

-12112021_MOS.csv

-13112021_MOS.csv

 

I want to create drop down based on the date. How can I do that?

As per my understanding, you need to filter dropdown values (files) on the basis of the date defined in the file name on. change of  timerange. then try below search in your dropdown.

YOUR_SEARCH
| eval file_date= strptime(Filename,"%d%m%Y_MOS.csv") 
| addinfo 
| where file_date>=info_min_time and file_date<info_max_time

 

My Sample Search :

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="Filename
11112021_MOS.csv
12112021_MOS.csv
13112021_MOS.csv" 
| multikv forceheader=1 
| table Filename 
| rename comment as "Upto now is for sample data only" 
| eval file_date= strptime(Filename,"%d%m%Y_MOS.csv") 
| addinfo 
| where file_date>=info_min_time and file_date<info_max_time

 

You have have different use case then please share more details on it.

Thanks
