Hi there,
I have a text box input (SearchTextSetting module) where users can enter in a number, which is then used for calculations in HiddenSearch & HiddenPostProcess.
The problem I have is that, it only seems to recognize the digits before a decimal point. ie. if user enters 2.50 then when I print it's value to table, it displays as 2.
I attach code snippet below, where SearchTextSetting input is used to set $baseload$.
When I use whole numbers, the calculations work out fine, but I would like it to also work properly when decimal numbers are entered.
...
<module name="HiddenSearch" autoRun="False">
<param name="search">index=perf sourcetype=snmp | bucket _time span=1m | stats avg(dpStatusSystemUsageLoad) as "AvgLoad" by host,_time | eval BaseLoad=$baseload$</param>
<module name="SearchTextSetting" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col3" autoRun="False">
<param name="elementName">baseload_element</param>
<param name="settingName">baseload_setting</param>
<param name="label">Key in baseload ie. System Usageload when no transactions are running (use 2 if unknown)</param>
<module name="ConvertToIntention">
<param name="settingToConvert">baseload_setting</param>
<param name="intention">
<param name="name">stringreplace</param>
<param name="arg">
<param name="baseload">
<param name="fillOnEmpty">True</param>
<param name="value">$target$</param>
</param>
</param>
</param>
<module name="HiddenPostProcess" layoutPanel="panel_row3_col1">
<param name="search">table _time,AvgLoad,BaseLoad</param>
<module name="JobProgressIndicator">
<module name="EnablePreview">
<param name="enable">True</param>
<param name="display">False</param>
<module name="SimpleResultsTable">
<param name="drilldown">row</param>
<param name="count">20</param>
</module>
</module><!-- EnablePreview -->
</module><!-- JobProgressIndicator -->
</module><!-- HiddenPostProcess -->

ok after some unsuccessful attempts at using addterm instead of stringreplace (for which I found documentation lacking..), I got it working by using tonumber function
ie. before fix:
