I had a poke around in Splunk Answers, but I couldn't find anything on this specifically.
I have a dashboard that has 8+ panels, with maybe more required. Each panel does something slightly different, but each uses the same search string (at least before the first pipe sign). For performance reasons, I'd like to be able to run the search only once for the dashboard (eg. as a base search), and then let the search in the other panels refer back to the initial search. However, I don't want to show the full (or any) results of the initial/base search in the first panel at the top of my dashboard. That is, I want the results of the base search to be "hidden", but accessible by the other searches lower down in the dashboard. I don't want to run the initial search as a saved search, I'd like it be available in (as close as possible to) real time.
Is this possible with Splunk?
