"Link to Search" interaction missing in Dashboard Studio

Looking to create a dashboard in Dashboard Studio that drills down on an Event Messages column in in a table.  According to this blog post,  a "Link to search" option was added a few months ago, but I don't see the option in my editor in Splunk 9.1.2:

I've also tried adding the JSON directly:

 

 

"eventHandlers": [
               {
                   "type": "drilldown.linkToSearch",
                   "options": {
                       "type": "auto",
                       "newTab": true
                   }
               }
           ]

 

 and that didn't work either.

 

Any help is appreciated.

That blog post is announcing a feature being released in Cloud version 9.0.2305.

Cloud release numbers and Enterprise release numbers aren't really directly comparable. (Features tend to cloud first and then get released in later Enterprise releases). 

That said if you go to the doc for the What's New in Dashboard Studio on Enterprise 9.1.2: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.2/DashStudio/WhatNew 

You'll notice that the table looks very similar to the table underneath the header of "What's new in Splunk Cloud 9.0.2303" (the previous cloud release) from the link from the blog post: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/9.0.2305/DashStudio/WhatNewSC 

So from that I'd suspect the feature that you're looking for that came out in a later version of cloud would likely come out in a later version of Enterprise... Hopefully 9.2.x but of course could always be later.

Yes @franklinnavarro .. I have verified that the "Link to Search" is not available. 

as i remember this was available in classic dashboard. 

i think they mistakenly added the same content from classic dashboard to that blog for the Dashboard Studio. thanks. 

thanks and best regards,
Sekar
