There seems to be some kind of issue with dynamic drilldowns with Splunk and Internet Explorer.
I've been building dashboards and UIs with drilldown and it all worked fine until I tried to get other people to use it. I noticed that while drilldowns worked in Firefox, it didn't work properly in Internet explorer.
For example, when I try to pass a value from a drilldown to another form such as :
<table>
<title>Table panel with dynamic drilldown that passes the clicked row's 'count' column value to populate a form</title>
<searchString>index=_internal | head 1000 | stats count by user</searchString>
<option name="count">10</option>
<drilldown>
<link>/app/simple_xml_examples/simple_form_text?form.limit=$row.count$</link>
</drilldown>
</table>
The $row.count$ variable doesn't get passed to the form properly when using IE. I think it has something to do with the way it handles links and addresses? Not sure..
I'm on Splunk 6, and the problem is with IE8.. I haven't tested it on any other versions of IE since I don't have admin rights to upgrade or install.
Has anyone else seen this problem or know how to address it? (other than switching browsers)
Cheers,
