Dashboards & Visualizations

initialisation of tokens on dashboard load not working

I am trying set the initial values of a time picker to the values used on a previous dashboard via drilldown tokens.

The tokens are passed OK but the field2.earliest and field2.latest tokens in the are not set so I get an error in the chart 'invalid earliest_time'.

If I edit the dashboard and go to the source view and then back to the UI view the values are set correctly and the chart displays correctly.

It's like the tokens passed in the URL are not evaluated correctly in the section of the xml, they are passed correctly as if I set the default value of a text box to $earliest$ and $latest$ they are shown correctly

<dashboard>
  <label>tr</label>
    <init>
      <set token="field2.earliest">$earliest$</set>
      <set token="field2.latest">$latest$</set>
      <set token="goo">123</set>
    </init>

  <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
    <input type="text" token="time">
      <label></label>
      <default>$plcarea$ - $errorname$</default>

    <input type="time" token="field2">

Can you try this:

Go to the js file which is responsible for your dashboard from: APP_directory/appserver/static/javascript/

Add the following lines into your code
 
 var sub_tok = mvc.Components.get("submitted");
 sub_tok.set("earliest", {value for that token});
 sub_tok.set("latest", {value for that token});
 
Dump the splunk and restart your splunk and try again.
