Time Input - How to Add to Only 1 Panel, Not Every Panel

[mistydennis]

I have a form with multiple panels, each panel using different inputs/tokens. Only one panel requires a time input, the other panels are not based on time. When I change the time input of this one panel, all the other panels refresh, but I would like for them to ignore the time change. Is this possible?

You can have local time picker for that panel only
Make sure time's token should be unique

<panel>
  <title>This is Titel here</title>
     <input type="time" token="time_tok">
      <label>Time</label>
      <default>
        <earliest>-3h@h</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
    </input>

  <chart>
    <search>
      <query>******QUERY********</query>
      <earliest>$time_tok.earliest$</earliest>
      <latest>$time_tok.latest$</latest>
      <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
      <refresh>10m</refresh>
      <refreshType>delay</refreshType>
    </search>

When you open the panels in the edit mode, you can specify which time range picker you're using. It seems all dashboard panels are using your single available time-range picker. Just edit those panels to use explicit selection with some hard-coded values, say last 15 mins. (as those panels don't depend upon time range picker).

See Step 6 from this link for reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/SearchTutorial/Createnewdashboard#Add_controls_to...

Thanks for pointing me to that page, somesoni2!

yes it is possible! can you share your xml code

[mistydennis]

So. Much. Code.

The only panel where a time input is needed is the one titled "Publication Downloads". All other panels should be independent of this time input.
