Splunk Search

Is there a way I can hardcode a search to 2 drilldown values?

Is there a way I can hardcode a search to 2 drilldown values? Basically this is what I am trying to achieve: Drilldown with 2 options -> Network traffic from A to B &, from B to A. I have for the time created 2 panes which display 2 panels (with network traffic both directions). But I am trying to come up with a single panel which, upon selecting the traffic direction from the drilldown, displays only that information.

Try something like this (this is a sample dashboard that can run on any splunk instance, update the searches/labels as per yours)

<form>
  <label>Dynamic Direction</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
    <input type="dropdown" token="host" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Host</label>
      <search>
        <query>| metadata type=hosts index=* | table host</query>
      </search>
      <fieldForLabel>host</fieldForLabel>
      <fieldForValue>host</fieldForValue>
    </input>
    <input type="dropdown" token="direction" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Direction</label>
      <choice value="src_interface=&quot;A*&quot;">A to B</choice>
      <choice value="dest_interface=&quot;A*&quot;">B to A</choice>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>$direction$</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype | eval src_interface=if(like(sourcetype,"s%"),"A*","B*")| eval dest_interface=if(like(sourcetype,"s%"),"B*","A*")| search $direction$</query>
          <earliest>-4h@m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="count">10</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

What is your current query?

I'll give the part of query and what I am trying to achieve:

Query 1: index=firewall host=$value$ | search action!="success" AND src_interface="A*"
Query 2: index=ffirewall host=$value$ | search action!="success" AND dest_interface="A*"

I have 2 drilldown boxes. One which selects the host using $value$ variable. That's working fine.
The next drill down I got to select the traffic direction (query1-> src_interface, query 2-> dest_interface).
