Use token just if is defined

[maaneeel]

Hello,

I need to create a dashboard panel (table) doing a query that uses the following filtering condition:

account_name = "$userNameToken$")

How could I prevent the situation where the token is not defined and display any user?

Thanks

Thanks for the answers.

Using  search account_name = * works properly, but I would like to remove the default value (*) from the input textbox, just to prevent that when the analyst finish a search of a specific user, doesn't need to type * again to display any user.

I am not sure what the issue is here - is the "analyst" removes the name from the text box, it will be set to the default i.e. "*" without them having to type it again - does this not give you the functionality you want?

Set the default value of the token to *

How are you setting the token in the first place?

If the token is not defined then the query will not run.  To prevent that, set a default value for the token.
