conditionally show d3 visualization

dominiquevocat · ‎11-03-2015

So I have a dashboard with a base search that I display in several ways. One of them is a panel with a link switcher and depending on the selected value, one of the two div containing a d3 visualization is showing.

My problem is: when I switch to a different visualization, then the div stays empty until the search from which I derive is refreshed (by change of some form input).

What am I overlooking?

the snippet:

  <input type="link" token="unused">
    <label>Choose a visualization...</label>
    <choice value="sankey">Sankey</choice>
    <choice value="forcedirected">Force Directed Graph</choice>
    <default>sankey</default>
    <change>
      <condition value="sankey">
        <set token="showSankey">true</set>
        <unset token="showForceDirected"></unset>
      </condition>
      <condition value="forcedirected">
        <set token="showForceDirected">true</set>
        <unset token="showSankey"></unset>
      </condition>
    </change>
  </input>
  <search id="viz_search" base="base">
    <query>stats count by from to</query>
  </search>
  <html depends="$showSankey$">
    <h2>Sankey</h2>
    <div id="sankey" class="splunk-view" data-require="app/custom_vizs/components/sankey/sankey" data-options="{           &quot;managerid&quot;: &quot;viz_search&quot;,           &quot;height&quot;: &quot;400px&quot;         }"></div>  
  </html>
  <html depends="$showForceDirected$">
    <h2>Force Directed</h2>
    <div id="forcedirected" class="splunk-view" data-require="app/custom_vizs/components/forcedirected/forcedirected" data-options="{           &quot;managerid&quot;: &quot;viz_search&quot;,           &quot;height&quot;: &quot;500px&quot;,           &quot;panAndZoom&quot;: false,           &quot;isStatic&quot;: false         }"></div>
  </html>
</panel>

Hi dominiquevocat,

I had the same problem til I changed the div id="force directed" to div id="custom" take a look at this example:

<form script="autodiscover.js">
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="link" token="unused">
      <label>Choose a visualization...</label>
      <choice value="sankey">Sankey</choice>
      <choice value="forcedirected">Force Directed Graph</choice>
      <default>sankey</default>
      <change>
        <condition value="sankey">
          <set token="showSankey">true</set>
          <unset token="showForceDirected"></unset>
        </condition>
        <condition value="forcedirected">
          <set token="showForceDirected">true</set>
          <unset token="showSankey"></unset>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
          <search id="viz_search">
         <query>
         <![CDATA[
                    index=_internal sourcetype=splunk_web_access NOT uri_path=*/static/* uri_path=*/app/* OR uri_path=*/manager/* 
                    | rex field=referer "https?://.+?/.+?(?<referer_path>/[^\\?]+)" 
                    | rex field=uri_path "/.+?(?<path>/.+)" 
                    | rename referer_path as from path as to 
                    | stats count by from to | sort -count | head 50
                ]]>
         </query>
        </search>
  <row>
    <panel depends="$showSankey$">
      <html>
       <h2>Sankey</h2>
       <div id="sankey"
                     class="splunk-view"
                     data-require="app/simple_xml_examples/components/sankey/sankey"
                     data-options='{
                            "managerid": "viz_search",
                            "height": 400
                         }'>
                </div>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel depends="$showForceDirected$">
      <html>
     <h2>Force Directed</h2>
     <div id="custom" 
                          class="splunk-view" 
                          data-require="app/simple_xml_examples/components/forcedirected/forcedirected" 
                          data-options='{           
                                 "managerid": "viz_search",
                                 "height": "500px",
                                 "panAndZoom": false,
                                 "isStatic": false
                            }'>
        </div>
   </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

Hope this helps und Grüsse nach Basel!

cheers, MuS
