How to pass Time span in Drill Down Graph

tkadale

I have a parent graph showing maximum swap memory for all hosts.

I have a drill down graph showing maximum swap memory for single host, when I click on any point on graph.

But when I click on graph the X-Axis time span is not as per clicked in Parent Graph.

Ex- If I click on value which falls in time range 12-4 am, Drill down comes for all the day.

I want the Drill down only for time range of clicked point. Not for all the day.

In Drill Down Graph How should I display Time span on X-Axis according to time range clicked in Parent Graphs.

Thanks in Advance!

Try adding this to your main chart module

<drilldown>
<set token="selection_earliest">$earliest$</set>
<set token="selection_latest">$latest$</set>
</drilldown>

And then adding this to your drill down search query

earliest=$selection_earliest$ latest=$selection_latest$


Here is a complete example

<form>
  <label>Test</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="false">
    <input type="time" token="field1" searchWhenChanged="false">
      <label></label>
      <default>
        <earliest>-30d@d</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Sourcetypes</title>
      <chart>
        <search>
          <query>| search *  | timechart count by sourcetype</query>
          <earliest>$field1.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$field1.latest$</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="count">10</option>
        <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option>

If I click on value having Time Range 12:00-4:00 in parent graph, the drill down still comes for time span 12:00 - 16:00 - 20:00 - 00:00 - 04:00 - 08:00. Can I show X-axis time span as 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 4:00 only.
