Run x number of searches with one click

Question

Hi, I have a new customer where a number of saved searches have been set up. These searches are measuring response times, CPU load etc.etc.

Now the customer wants to be able to run these searches in "one click":

Choose start and end time which shall apply to all searches, click run - and then all searches are run and produces a nice chart for each of these.

The reason is that the customer is doing benchmark testing - and wants to see the same measurements before and after e.g. an upgrade or relase installation.

So a Dashboard is not really a solution - is it?

Have any of you brilliant people out there ever done a thing like this? and what is the solution?

Yes, this is a great use for a dashboard. It might require the advanced XML to be able to tie all of the searches to a common timerange picker, but I don't think so. I think there are some great examples of this in the UI examples app.

This is something that should be fairly simple with advanced XML, let me know if I am missing something:

-TimeRangePicker
 |-SubmitButton
   |-HiddenSearch
     |-HiddenChartFormatter
       |-JSChart
   |-HiddenSearch
     |-HiddenChartFormatter
       |-JSChart
   |-HiddenSearch
     |-HiddenChartFormatter
       |-JSChart
   |-HiddenSearch
     |-HiddenChartFormatter
       |-JSChart
