Could you please let me know how to set chart title dynamically without using Sideviewutils.

Here is one sample code for dynamic values from a text box.

<form>
  <label>DynamicChartTitle</label>
  <description>NULL</description>
  <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="true">    
    <input type="text" token="chartTitle" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Chart Title</label>   
      <default>*</default>
    </input>    
  </fieldset>
  <row>
   <chart>
    <title>The chart tile is- $chartTitle$</title>
    <searchString>
      index=_internal source="*metrics.log"
      group=per_sourcetype_thruput 
      | timechart sum(kb) by series
    </searchString>
    <earliestTime>-1h</earliestTime>
    <latestTime>now</latestTime>
    <option name="charting.data.fieldShowList">
      ["splunkd_access", "splunkd"]
    </option>
    <option name="charting.chart">line</option>
  </chart>
  </row>

[somesoni2]

If the value is not available in dashboard, how are you planning to provide the 'dynamic' value to the chart title? Is it stored somewhere?

Hi,

You can use tokens in the title like $t_Bank$ and pass value form previous chart or filter:

 <table>
          <title>Top Errors for the Bank $t_Bank$ </title>
          <searchString> ....</searchString>
          <earliestTime> $earliest$ </earliestTime>
          <latestTime> $latest$ </latestTime>
          <option name="wrap">true</option>  
   </table>

so far i have not used filters for taking dynamic vlaues.. do u ahve any sample codes? plz share

[ankireddy007]

How you are going to get values dynamically? through filter?
Anyhow you are taking the filter value into token, so you can use that token as mentioned. Pls let me know if does not work

Ya thnx for the response.. It looks this is achieved using drilldown logic.. but my chart is going to be first one.. so in that case how to write using filter.. any sample code plz...
