Reporting

Is it possible to add an input filter to reports?

I am having a report showing the count in graph for different types of errors occurred. I am also having the time range filter to select the desired time range.

Is there any option to add an input filter, i.e., a text box, to enter a specific error type and filter the results for the entered text?

@niketnilay is correct. If you want this to have any other type of input for filtering, you’ll have to create a dashboard. If it is a scheduled search, you can keep it as a report with the schedule and add it to a dashboard panel to be filtered on so that it runs quicker using either loadjob Or by using ref=... In the search node in the simple xml

You can keep it as a report and have the filter come from a lookup file that is updated through some other means.

@Naren26, Only Time Picker input can be added to report. If you need Textbox please convert to Dashboard.
