Why is the condition tag in my in-page drilldown not working for chart overlay?

[chitra]

Implemented chart overlay and trying in-page drilldown based on field condition.
I want to set queries for token based on field.

For example:
<drilldown>
<condition field="host">
<set token="query">index=_internal | table host</set>
</condition>
<condition field="sourcetype">
<set token="query">index=_internal | table sourcetype</set>
</condition>

Currently implemented like above code, but on click of the chart, it's going to the search bar instead of the expected drilldown. Kindly let me know Is there any other way to implement an in-page drilldown for a chart overlay?

After a lot of searching, I found that my issue was caused by the assumption that the click's provided field would be equal to $click.name$ like many other modules, but as I found here, the field is equal to the y-axis (equal to $click.name2).
If your issue is similar to mine, changing the field=""line should resolve the issue.

I'm looking at this documentation for reference:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.4/Viz/Understandbasictableandchartdrilldownactions#C...

It seems that there might be an issue with the syntax that you're using to indicate that the "query" token should take the search result as its value. I believe the issue has to do with the current setup causing the search to run on the click event (hence the transfer over to the search bar), rather than using fields, the condition tag, and tokens to pass the data about where the user is clicking to the search.

This example in particular seems similar to what you're trying to do, though it does not include overlay:

Take a look at the click event and search handling in the example above and let me know if this works! If not, we can keep troubleshooting.

Also having this issue.. Do charts not support the condition tag within drilldown?
