Hi all ,

I am new to splunk so please consider even if it is basic one.
I have a requirement to build a dashboard where it has few dropdowns and fields. User should be able to configure an alert from the dropdown and fields he/she selected. Can someone please explain me how i can i achieve it.

Thanks in advance

Hi @vasanthi77,

You cant configure the alert directly from the dashboard, you but you have two options :

1- Click on the magnifying glass at the bottom of the panel you want to use as an alert, open in search, and then save as an alert.

2- Create all your searches as reports, and add them to the dashboard as follows :
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.6/SearchTutorial/Addreportstodashboard
Then anytime a user wants to turn a panel into an alert they can refer to the report and modify that.

Does that help answer your question ? Let me know if you need more details

Cheers,
David

Hi David ,
Thanks for the input. but after few digging into splunk concepts, I could find few options for the above requirement like , using setup.xml or "splunklib.client.Service" class. Can you provide more information on this if you have, Please.
