Hide search query in drilldown

Hello,

when user clicks on panel for drill-down, it shows relevant record in new window. I am looking to hide the search query to end- user ?

I could see some params in drill-down url

  • display.page.search.mode=verbose
  • dispatch.sample_ratio=1
  • display.general.type=statistics

But nothing related to hiding search query. Is this feasible by passing any additional parameter to the drill-down.

here's sample dashboard to explain in more detail.

<dashboard>
  <label>test</label>
  <description>Test dashboard</description>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <chart>
        <title>Stats in pie chart</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd log_level=ERROR 
| stats count by host</query>
          <earliest>-60m@m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="charting.chart">pie</option>
        <option name="charting.drilldown">all</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </chart>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>


when you click on on slice of the pie chart. it opens a new tab where search query visible to user which i would like to hide it to end user.

If you want to hide search or make it un-clickable then tried this in XML?

 

 

<drilldown>
          <condition>
          </condition>
        </drilldown>

 

You can share your sample code so we can help.

You can use standard query strings on the url e.g. ?display.page.search.mode=verbose&dispatch.sample_ratio=1

Is that what you are after?

I am using auto drill-down.

<splunk instance>/search?q=search%20index%3D_internal%20sourcetype%3Dsplunkd%20log_level%3DERROR%20%20%20host%3Dabcd&earliest=1626277980&latest=1626281619&sid=1626281625.6156433_11E2866B-AB2E-4342-8D51-4948AA7A5661&display.page.search.mode=fast&dispatch.sample_ratio=1

So you are drilling down to a search and you want to hide the fact that you are drilling down to a search?

Can you drilldown to another dashboard that has the results of the search (rather than the search app itself)?

@ITWhisperer Yes. i have few dashboards which are using really long queries and on drill-down the query almost takes half of the screen.

i wanted to re-use the auto drill-down feature without need to build another drill-down dashboard.
