Splunk Search

How do I pass an input parameter to the search string of another input?

I have multiple inputs in the dashboard. The first input is for various environments (hard coded). And the second input is for various accounts from the selected environment (leverages search string). I have the first input tokenized as "env" however, passing it in the second input search string as environment=$env$ doesn't yield the value from the first input.

Yeah! Seems like there was some issue with caching maybe, it worked in incognito.

Hi @srizan,
searches are the same in inputs and panels, so you can manage tokens in the same way.
check if you need quotes because $env$ could contain spaces:

environment="$env$"
