Splunk Search

Repeating control in form?

Hey all,

I was poking around doing a custom form and, since there are no checkbox controls that I can find, came up with the idea of using a repeating dropdown. I have a list of terms that may or may not be in the events I am searching--Term1, Term2, Term3.

I was thinking something like the following:


Term1 |{v} Yes     |

Term2 |{v} No       |

Term3 |{v} Maybe |

Term1's value would be " AND mytag=Term1"
Term2's value would be " AND NOT mytag=Term2"
Term3's value would be " " or blank -- it could appear or not

So that the search would be "source=mysource mysearchstuff AND mytag=Term1 AND NOT mytag=Term2 ". I can get the repeating list, I think--but I don't know about the dropdown.

Any ideas or is this just too far out there?

Thanks!

Hello. Check out Nick's sideview utils app on splunkbase. It adds several new modules for use, one of them being a checkbox module that will allow you to do just this. You'll be able to assign each checkbox a value that when clicked will be inserted into a search.

To be honest, I was trying to get around the lack of checkboxes with the dropdowns. Do you know if the checkboxes can be dynamic--fed from a lookup query?
