HI. When we use table in a search rather than going to events it goes to the statistics tab automatically. I would like to have a timechart macro go straight to the visualization tab in much the same manner. Is there any way to do this. I don't want to make a dash I just want the macro to show a quick and dirty timechart. Bonus if some options can be put into the search to specific the visualization type and such. Here is the search im trying and its fine but I would like my users to see a visualization immediately rather than clicking on the visualization tab.
index=dct_* "body.host.name"=somehost "body.system.cpu.total.norm.pct"="*"
| fields body.host.name body.system.cpu.total.norm.pct
| eval cpuPercent = body.system.cpu.total.norm.pct*100
| timechart cont=FALSE avg(body.system.cpu.total.norm.pct)
The only way to force a particular view (AFAIK) is with a dashboard.
