Linking views with Sideview

Starting from our simple dashboard, let's use the Redirector module to build a link. This link could be to anything, but we will link to another Splunk dashboard, which we will build next. Here's the XML code:

... 
<module name="JSChart"> 
<module name="Redirector"> 
<param name="arg.user">$click.value$</param> 
<param name="url">chapter_9_sideview_2</param> 
</module> 
</module> 
... 

After clicking on shelby, a new URL is built using the user value. In my case, the URL is:

http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/is_app_one/chapter_9_sideview_2?user=shelby

The dashboard referenced does not exist yet, so this URL returns an error.

Let's create the second dashboard now.
