Splunk Search

Display custom search after click on SimpleResultsTable

I am having a SimpleResultsTable which allows to collect all information what I need.

Whereas, I would like to change the search behaviour after a click.

For example, when I click on some information, I have this search

  • sourcetype=LogSourceType name="test" value="100" error="warning"

But if I add a specific field to the current search, I would like to remove all other information.

For example, if I click on the field "id", i'll have this search

  • sourcetype=LogSourceType id="123"

I need to modify the javascript ? Or an existing module manages this functionality ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I've found a solution. It consist to change the javascript (FieldSearch.js) where the method setInputField: function(searchStr) is declared. I've added a conditional test, and it works perfectly.

Hi Srw12,

I believe the solution should be a lot simpler, you should look at creating a drilldown with a new HiddenSearch fed into it, using the $click.value$ value...

something like this (code needs modifying, just as an overview)

<module name="HiddenSearch">
  ...
  <module name="SimpleResultsTable">
    ...
    <module name="ConvertToDrilldownSearch">
      <module name="HiddenSearch">
        <param name="search">sourcetype=LogSourceType</param>
        <module name="ConvertToIntention">
          <param name="intention">
            <param name="name">addterm</param>
            <param name="arg">
              <param name="id">$click.value$</param>
            </param>
          </param>
          <module name="ViewRedirector">
            <param name="viewTarget">flashtimeline</param>
          </module>
        ...

Remember to close all of your open tags in the XML, hopefully this should give you a better idea... there is also some docs on this (here), I know you are able to do more advance drilldowns with Sideview Utils, but I have not used this myself.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried your solution, but the result doesn't match my expectation.
But I've a new question, is it possible to reset the search after a click ?
