Multiple select for dynamic dashboards

Hi,

I have prepared Dashboard using examples from Splunk web site and things work very well. In fact all examples I can see are limited to single value at the end.

What I am looking for is possibility to have multi select box where I can pick several generated values to get those generated in single graph.

The multiselect box something like first example in here http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_SELECT_MULTIPLE.html

If I wan't to add another value into graph I do it these days using appendcol and this can be problem for dynamic searches. Maybe I am going just too far with this question, but does Splunk support such thing?

Thanks

I would also recommend using SideView Utils. The the latest version is available from Nick's website:

http://sideviewapps.com/apps/sideview-utils/

I've used the module for creating multi-selection dropdowns extensively and it's perfect for what you described.

Here's a related question I posted asking how to achieve the same thing with multiple checkboxes:

Although, I believe my question is already outdated because the most recent version of sideview utils has new modules that handle this multiple check boxes.

Nick @ Sideview apps has put together some modules available on Splunkbase to do just this. The app contains modules as well as tutorials on how to implement. Check the app out here:
