Splunk Search

Why am I unable to populate a token with the result of a search with my current Simple XML?

Hello there guys,

I'm trying to populate a token with the result of a search so I'm able to use this value at various other points of the Dashboard.
The search only has the field sourcetype at the end and it should populate the token "asas" with the sourcetype, based on the search result.
This search runs and I'm able to see that it have more than zero results, based on the Job monitor.

I'm using Splunk 6.2.2 and I was reading the "Search event handlers", but couldn't make it work.

The point is that this token never gets the data set into it, maybe you someone could help me?

Dashboard code:

<dashboard>
  <label>Test Validation - $asas$</label>
  <search>
    <query>index=oneshot | head 1 | fields sourcetype</query>
    <finalized>
      <set token="asas">results.sourcetype</set>
      <condition match=" 'job.resultCount' >= 0">
        <set token="show_html">true</set>
      </condition>
      <condition>
        <unset token="show_html"></unset>
      </condition>
    </finalized>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>testeeeee $asas$</title>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index="oneshot" search |head 1 | eval teste=$show_html$ | eval gethim=$asas$ | table GrupoNome2,gethim</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>asasasas</title>
      <html>
        <center>teste - $asas$</center>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Replace this

 <set token="asas">results.sourcetype</set>

with

 <set token="asas">$result.sourcetype$</set>

Hello there @somesoni2, I did it but it didn't work either.
I was searching and I think that I will need version 6.3+ for this to work. Do you know if I'm right? :x

Hi,
I have a similar problem, my token $URL$ is not being set with values..the same query is working fine in another dashboard...My Splunk version 6.5.2

<query>index=MyIndex sourcetype=MySourceType  
| eval URLink = case(ENV=="PROD", "zzz.yy.xx", 1=1, "zzz-".ENV.".yy.xxx") | head 1 | table ENV URLink</query>
<earliest>$time_range.earliest$</earliest>
<latest>$time_range.latest$</latest>
<!--<done>
  <set token="Env">$result.ENV$</set>
  <set token="URLink">$result.URLink$</set>
</done> -->
 <finalized>
    <condition>
      <set token="URL">$result.URLink$</set>

Thats correct. The option finalized for search is only available for 6.3.x version.
