Splunk Search

To run a search only on click of a button in the page.

I have a submit button module containing search module and I want to execute the search only when user clicks on the button. As after search module I have to have some result module (JobProgressIndicator) for a valid view.xml but that is causing the search to run when user loads the page. Is there anyway so that search never runs when user loads the page?

  1. Setup autorun to false
  2. Set allowSoftSubmit param to false.

See: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3/Developer/ModuleReference#SubmitButton

Did it work ? I am seeing similar issue, not sure whether there is a resolution. Neither allowSoftSubmit = false and/or autoRun="false" seems to be working especially on initial load

Side Note: autoRun="false" does nothing. Just dont put autoRun="True". I know it's pedantic but when teams put autoRun="False" everywhere, it seems to eventually lead to there being multiple autoRun="True" attributes, which causes problems.

That's what I have and it's not working.


<module name="SubmitButton">
 <param name="allowSoftSubmit">False</param>
 <param name="label">Delete</param>
 <module name="Search" autoRun="False">
   <param name="search">index=cehudlatest sys=$system$ site=$site$ mhost=$host$ appcat=$appcat$ appinst=$appinst$ | delete</param>
   <name="earliest">-10m@s</param>                                          
   <param name="latest">now</param>
   <module name="JobProgressIndicator"/>
  </module>
</module>
