Export is disabled on panels- How do I enable?

[POR160893]

Hi,

How can I enable the export functionality on my panels? These panels are using a base search and I am struggling with using a savedsearch with the multiple tokens the panel uses.

Hi @gcusello, have you any idea what the reason is for (the lack of) this option and do you know if there are plans to adjust this?

Hi

there are couple of workarounds for this. Here is one which use loadjob. https://community.splunk.com/t5/Other-Usage/Why-export-button-is-grayed-out-in-some-of-my-panels/m-p...

Another option is just use outputlookup + inputlookup.

I don't believe that there will be any real fix for this as Splunk has announces end of support for classic dashboards and put all efforts to Dashboard studio.

I'm expecting that the reason, why export is not working, is when you are using base search and then utilising it on another panel is that there is only this one SID which contains only base search not those in panels. For that reason there is no outputs which can exported on those other panels. Probably they have make decision that as you can just run that query/panel on another window and then do export it's not worth of cost to fix it?

Is there any other alternative to export from the actual dashbaord? Like, any alternative to using the base search?

Hi @POR160893,

As I said you have two choices for exporting result in a csv:

• open the search in the Search Dashboard and export from them that dashboard,
• don't use base search, so you have the Export button in each panel.

I think that if you used the base search there's a reason, I suppose that you have in your dashboard many panels starting from the same base search so it guarantees to you best performaces and a minor use of resources.

It isn't possible to have in the same dashboard base search and Export button.

Ciao.

Hi @POR160893,

using base searches export is disabled by default.

If you want to export data, you have to open a panel in Search (button with magnifying glass) and then you can export results.

Ciao.
