Splunk Search

Drilldown from Flashchart object

Hey,

I have a column flashchart on a dashboard called dash_usage.xml. When I click on a bar(e.g. called User where value="Myself") on this chart, I want to be redirected to another dashboard (called dash_user_details.xml) which automatically runs a search (different to the one for the flashchart) where the field User in this search is set to the User I clicked on the previous page (i.e. Myself) and the timepicker is set to last 24 hours by default.

How can I go about achieving this?

There is a detailed section on how to do this in the Developer Manual: http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Developer/TableChartDrilldown#Advanced_examples

Basically you have a HiddenSearch with another FlashChart.

You should be able to do that with hidden intentions. I suggest opening a new question since this is a different topic, this will give it more exposure and you can source answers from a wider range of people 🙂

Hey FTK, if my flashchart has a number of different coloured cells (e.g. yellow = completed, blue = not_complete) How can I drill down on each cell so that clicking on blue runs a search index=a and clicking on yellow runs a search index=z ?
