TimeRangePicker to have the default value as Custom time

gpanicker
Explorer

I want to have a TimeRangePicker in a dashboard to have the default value as Custom time .
I dont want the dashboard to display any data , first time the page loads up. Only after user has entered the time ranges by clicking Custom time, the dashboard should get refreshed.
I tried this, In dashboard it shows up as Alltime and it tries to display the data upon loading the page.


Custom time
True

Please help.

to prevent it from searching whent he page loads you will need to change the "searchWhenChanged" to False and add a submit button or someother method of starting the search

something I do is:


False
Last 15 minutes

True
Search

Hi,

The TimeRangePicker module uses the times.conf file which is (unless customized) under the etc/system/local directory under your search head(s). You can only use values which are defined within that file and custom time isn't an actually defined element.

I believe you can use a workflow action to get around this but I think it would need a start and end field within each event to make it happen with the TimeRangePicker correctly; disclaimer: I've honestly never tried it out.

The way I usually work around this is by using an extended search box to provide an earliest and latest window that I pass onto the search, the only downside is that they will have to type those values in which isn't the most user friendly.
