Splunk Search

Fire Dynamic Search Queries based on Tokens

Explorer

I have various Inputs and i want to execute different query based of different token input value.

Eg. I have 2 different tokens user_name and user_profile.
I am displaying the results in a Statistical table.

Now my search query is:
index="main" u_name=$user_name$ AND u_profile=$user_profile$

However i want to make the search query as:
if($user_name$) #If $user_name$ token is set
index="main" u_name=$user_name$

if($user_profile$) #If $user_profile$ token is set
index="main" u_profile=$user_profile$

Please help me out.

Have 3 panels.: One that depends on $user_profile$, another that depends on $user_name$, and a third that depends on both.
