Getting Data In

How to create two text boxes on a dashboard with a submit button using JavaScript where entered values get stored in a CSV file?

Hi,

I want to create a dashboard in which two text boxes will be there with one submit button. Upon clicking the submit button, the values of those two boxes should be stored in a CSV file.

Please help me with this !!

Cheers

I did it without using JavaScript. The XML is relatively self-explanatory, two text boxes to fill out and a submit button. The query creates a table with the two fields entered in the text boxes, then outer joins it with the already existing csv, and then rewrites the csv with the join results. The last line in the query is just so it can be displayed as "Added:"

<form>
  <label>ABCMachines</label>

  <!-- Machine and tag text boxes, and add button, and display table of new adds-->
  <fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="true">
    <input type="text" token="name">
      <label>Add machine name and new tag</label>
    </input>
    <input type="text" token="splunkTags">
      <label>
      </label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Added:</title>
      <table>
        <search>
          <!-- Creates table of tag additions, appends the loaded master tag csv, dedups to result in either adding the data to the master
               or overwrite the existing data, and re-exports csv. Last line displays table -->
          <query>
 | stats count | eval Name="$name$" | eval Splunk_Tags="$splunkTags$" | table Name Splunk_Tags | append
[| inputcsv "splunk_tags.csv"] | dedup Name |
   outputcsv [| stats count | eval filename="splunk_tags.csv" | return $filename] |
   stats count | eval Name="$name$" | eval Splunk_Tags="$splunkTags$" | table Name Splunk_Tags
          </query>
        </search>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="count">10</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>

Hello @abhayneilam, @pallavibalasa, @nick405060

you may want to download the splidget app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3649/)

The splunkpad in there is a very good example of writting in a dashboard the content of the user input and store it in a lookup file.

You will also need the lookup editor app if you do not already have it. (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1724/)

Please try the below HTML. I used outputcsv to create a csv file at first then it will continue to append to it once you hit submit. You can find the actual csv file in /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/csv/
I display the results of the CSV file created using |inputcsv (I called it newcsv but you can change that)
I used JavaScript to grab the two values of the input boxes after hitting Submit then have a search that runs in the background to create and append to the csv file.

Thanks Greg for your prompt reply !!

But my question is : I want to create an CSV file with the values I will put in the text box and click on add button.

So, first I will write my name in the text box and my age in another box then click on ADD button , then my name and age should be written in a CSV file.

Again if i give another value it should be appened in the existing value of my CSV file.

Cheers,
