Hi,
I'm looking for the proper way to set the 'search' property of a PostProcessManager in splunkjs within an app that runs outside of Splunk Enterprise. Documentation on this is not clear, and my trials have been unsuccessful, as follows:
myManager.set("search", <mysearchstring>) is apparently syntactically correct, but returns no results
myManager.settings.set("search", <mysearchstring>) is apparently syntactically correct, but returns no results
myManager.search.set(<mysearchstring>) is apparently syntactically correct but causes no update in the display
myManager.query.set(<mysearchstring) is also syntactically correct but causes no update in the display
NOTES:
- After setting the search query, I'm also calling 'startSearch()' on the search manager, and then render() on the chart
- Before responding, please note that this is for apps outside of Splunk and not otherwise. See examples for this type of apps in https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/webframework/codeexamplefw/splunkjsstack/searchco... This is where the 'manager.search.set' and 'manager.query.set' are used in examples with plain SearchManager instances)
Thanks in advance for any help.
I've been able to find the answer to my question after I kept experimenting. Turns out that option #2 above is the correct one. I was originally confused by the fact that the search was returning no results, but eventually I figured out that it was due to a mistake I had made when creating the search query.
