Reporting

Using more than one dropdown menu for the same search

Hello,

I'm trying to configure two different dropdown menus - the idea is to give option to the user, either he picks a value from the first dropdown (all videos - $dropdown_token$) OR he picks one of the top 10 ($field1$).

The problem is I don't seem to know how to insert this information on my visuals - the dashboard keeps running only if I select the first option/dropdown menu.

I tried different ways of writing the query, such as:

<panel>
<single>
<title>Unique Viewers</title>
<search>
<query>index=index Operation="views"
| search ResourceTitle="$dropdown_token$","$field1$"
|stats distinct_count(UserId)</query>
<earliest>$picktime_token.earliest$</earliest>
<latest>$picktime_token.latest$</latest>
<sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
</search>

I also tried | search ResourceTitle="$dropdown_token$" OR "$field1$"

I know it's a beginners question but I appreciate if you could help me.

 

THanks

I tried but it doesn't work - visuals keep waiting for the query to run.
