Solved: Using text imput to complete a search string in a ...

cindygibbs_08 · ‎06-01-2021

Hello everyone I hope you guys are doing very well,

I am trying to create my very first dashboard and I have to run a code like this one:

index=rent_hotel AND "VOUCHER-56IX75"
| stats values(CLIENT) as ID by tx_uner_rep

this code will generate a table but... I want to create a dashboard that will allow me to perform this search by having a text input field where I can enter a string that will change the "VOUCHER-" portion for whatever string I submit lets say if I put "893YX" I want the code to run:

index=rent_hotel AND "VOUCHER-893YX"
| stats values(CLIENT) as ID by tx_uner_rep

and I want my dashboard the generate results only after I click on the submit button... I have tried all day without any luck by the way I using the normal/clasic version of dashboard.. I will really be so thankful if you guys can reference some links on how to achieve this thank you very much

Kindly,

Cindy

Here's an example dashboard

<form>
  <label>vouchers</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="false">
    <input type="text" token="voucher_id">
      <label>VoucherId</label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>
index=rent_hotel AND "VOUCHER-$voucher_id$"
| stats values(CLIENT) as ID by tx_uner_rep            
          </query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="count">100</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">row</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <h1>Query being run</h1>
index=rent_hotel AND "VOUCHER-$voucher_id$"<br/>
