I have a couple of searches which feed a pulldown, and a checkboxPulldown. The problem is that the timerange (only 2 minutes) of the search that feeds the checkboxPulldown is immediately applied to TimeRangePicker after the checkboxPulldown gets its data. If I use a HiddenSearch, then the timerange does not get assigned to TimeRangePicker. The problem is that I need the Search to not be hidden as it gets $foo$ variables from upstream. How can I prevent this? ... View more

I wrote the code below after looking at many examples, and reviewing the modules documentation. And yet, I can't get it to work. The checkbox remains visible regardless of the time range I select. It should only be visible when the user selects "Last 60 minutes" in the TimeRangePicker. <view isVisible="true" objectMode="SimpleDashboard" onunloadCancelJobs="true" template="dashboard.html"> Line Resources Overview False splunk.search.job True 1 warn Last 4 hours True <module name="Checkbox" layoutPanel="viewHeader"> <param name="label">"5m auto-refresh"</param> <param name="customBehavior">LRO_ShowAutoRefreshCheckBox</param> <param name="float">left</param> </module> <module name="HTML"> <param name="html">For 5 mins auto-refresh select the "Last 60 minutes" time range.</param> </module> <module name="Search" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" autoRun="True"> <param name="search"> index=os * | rex &quot;lvn-(?&lt;Line&gt;[a-z][0-9])-&quot; | dedup Line | table Line | sort Line</param> <module name="JobProgressIndicator"/> <module name="SimpleResultsTable"/> </module> </module><!-- TimeRangePicker --> OK the code looks partly marked as code partly as regular comments. But it's all there. And here is the code I added in application.js: Sideview.utils.declareCustomBehavior("LRO_ShowAutoRefreshCheckBox", function(checkBoxModule) { var methodReference = checkBoxModule.onContextChange.bind(checkBoxModule); checkBoxModule.onContextChange = function() { var retVal = methodReference(); if (this.getContext().get("search").getTimeRange().getEarliestTimeTerms()=="-60m@m" && this.getContext().get("search").getTimeRange().getEarliestTimeTerms()=="now") { this.show(); } else { this.hide(); } return retVal; } }); And yes, I rebooted splunkweb to make sure application.js has been read by splunk after my change. EDIT: I just found 2 errors, thanks to google developper tools. 1- there was a brace missing in my javascript. 2- I needed to get the context from "this". The js code above reflects those fixes. But it still doesn't work right. Now the checkbox goes away as soon as I change the time range and never comes back regardless of the setting. ... View more

I just created a dashboard using sideview pulldown. Seems very nice to use, but, I was very disappointed to discover that upon auto-refresh my selections were reset to the default values. The version we have here is 2.4.10. and no, sadly enough, it's not going to be easy to get it updated. Anyone know how to prevent this? Here is the code I tried after reading Nick's answer. Keep in mind that this is a test version with only one chart. The complete version shows 9 charts. <view autoCancelInterval="90" isVisible="true" objectMode="SimpleDashboard" onunloadCancelJobs="true" refresh="90" template="dashboard.html"> <label>Line Resources Overview</label> <module name="SideviewUtils" layoutPanel="appHeader" /> <module name="AppBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/> <module name="TitleBar" layoutPanel="viewHeader"> <param name="showActionsMenu">False</param> </module> <module name="Message" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"> <param name="filter">splunk.search.job</param> <param name="clearOnJobDispatch">True</param> <param name="maxSize">1</param> <param name="level">warn</param> </module> <module name="URLLoader" layoutPanel="appHeader" autoRun="True"> <param name="keepURLUpdated" >True</param> <module name="Pulldown" layoutPanel="viewHeader"> <param name="name">selectedLine</param> <param name="label">Line</param> <param name="float">left</param> <param name="staticOptions"> <list> <param name="label">E1</param> <param name="value">e1</param> </list> <list> <param name="label">D1</param> <param name="value">d1</param> </list> <list> <param name="label">D2</param> <param name="value">d2</param> </list> </param> <module name="Pulldown" layoutPanel="viewHeader"> <param name="name">selectedType</param> <param name="label">Type</param> <param name="float">left</param> <param name="staticOptions"> <list> <param name="label">Apache</param> <param name="value">w</param> </list> <list> <param name="label">Tomcat</param> <param name="value">t</param> </list> <list> <param name="label">SysEng</param> <param name="value">sys</param> </list> </param> <module name="Search" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="Load Average (1m)" autoRun="True"> <param name="search">' LRO_load_average($selectedLine$,$selectedType$)' </param> <module name="HiddenFieldPicker"> <param name="strictMode">True</param> <module name="HiddenChartFormatter"> <param name="charting.chart">line</param> <param name="charting.legend.placement">right</param> <param name="charting.axisTitleX">none</param> <param name="charting.axisTitleY">none</param> <param name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">connect</param> <param name="charting.layout.splitSeries">false</param> <module name="FlashChart"> <param name="width">100%</param> <!--<param name="height">260px</param>--> <module name="Gimp"/> <module name="ConvertToDrilldownSearch"> <module name="ViewRedirector"> <param name="viewTarget">flashtimeline</param> </module> </module> </module> <module name="ViewRedirectorLink"> <param name="viewTarget">flashtimeline</param> </module> </module> </module> </module> </module> </module> </module> </view> ...
