persistent dropdown, multiselect and time inputs across dashboards

[schose]

Hi all,

I'm using multiple dashboards (for cpuusage, memusage, hdd usage) in an app where you can select different host by multiselect dropdown lists. When the user selects a different dashboard he always have to select the hosts again.

I would like to make it easier for the user and keep the multiselect and timeinformation consistent across different dashboards in an app.

What's the easiest way to archive this?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Andreas

right, bit this is not gonna work for me as i would need to link every single dashboard together.. (15 in sum).

what can I do if the user is using the navbar?!
Would it be otherwise possible to save the values for a dashboard?

Regards,

Andreas

Have you considered show/hide panels, based on dashboard type? In other words, create one view will panels from all dashboards. Add either links on top or a form field, where user can select type of dashboard. Based on this selection, you can show/hide appropriate panels and execute that search.

You have to pass the token of the row you clicked.
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.2/Viz/tokens
In addition you can pass the tokens of the inputs (like Time period).

in other words you have to insert something like this

          <link>
            <![CDATA[secondary_dashboard?field1=$click.value$&TimeDa=$Time.earliest$&TimeA=$Time.latest$&input2=$input2$]]>
          </link>
        </drilldown>
