I have a Splunk dashboard where you have a table with selected encoded identifiers.
You can click on a row and select an identifier as a token which fills additional fields with data. Now on the intranet of my company we have a url where you can enter the encoded identifier and get back the decoded data in a GET request.
Right now I have a single-value field which displays the encoded identifier and when you click on it it makes a call to the decoder and opens the decoded result in a new tab. That's a standard Splunk link.
Is it possible to make Splunk call the URL automatically (do a GET request) when the identifier is selected (the token is set) and retrieve the response data as a string and extract (using regex) and display the decoded data automatically in the single value field?
If not, is it at least possible for Splunk to get the response data as a string instead of opening the result in a new tab when you click on the encoded identifier?
If I understand you correctly, you want to have the drilldown target be an external link.
If that is correct, just put the external URL in the drilldown:
If you want some value from an external link to be pulled-into Splunk, then you'll need to setup another mechanism.
For example, you might have a scripted input that will query an external endpoint, and add results to an index or lookup table.
Or you might utilize a REST endpoint app to achieve something similar.

I am trying to build a flow, where I want to show an URL(hyperlink) in the response, which on click will open another flow end-point.
Example:
GET /list
output:
{
"object" :{
"accounts" : **url**,
"customer" : **url**
}
}
I want to add the hyperlink in the url (show in bold in output), which on clicking will open another flow passing either "accounts" or "customer" to the other flow as end-point.
Thanks in advance
The example indicates that the response is a JSON and I guess you are receiving it from a browser. You can add the hyperlink as the value of the attributes. However JSON doesn't have an URL data type, so the URLs will need to be strings, surrounded by quotes. Note that it is up to the browser to decide if those URLs are 'clickable' or just plain text.
I have a requirement wherein I need to display details of users after searching from LDAP using PUMA API.
I'm having troubling displaying the jpegPhoto of the user.
Here's what I'm doing:
First I'm querying the user by using:
PumaLocator.findUsersByAttribute(uid, user);
After that we get a User list Object.
For each user, we fetch all the attributes which is in the form of a Map.
I'm getting the following value for while retrieving the jpegPhoto:
map.get("jpegPhoto") --> [B#7a2f8a54
It seems that the Puma API returns a Binary string. Does anyone know how to display this in the portlet?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I think it more likely this is a byte[] array than a string.
You can probably base64 encode this binary into an encoded string and use it in an HTML image tag.
byte[] photoBytes = (byte[]) map.get("jpegPhoto");
String encodedPhoto = org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.encodeBase64(photoBytes);
Then later, perhaps in a JSP (example assumes JSTL variable in scope named encodedPhoto):
<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,${encodedPhoto}"/>
A way of doing this is to access the image through the portal service servlet instead of using your own servlet: /wps/um/secure/users/profiles/[oid]/jpegPhoto, in which you replace [oid] with the ObjectID of the user. This ID string can be obtained using IdentificationMgr.getIdentification().serialize(user.getObjectID())
The photo of the current user you can access using: /wps/um/secure/currentuser/profile/jpegPhoto
Portal is giving you data as byte array. It will never give you as URL.
You can write a servlet which will write this byte array to output stream.
Use that servlet URL as src of tag. It will start rendering on browser.
FYI, you can't print byte array to browser and expect it to treat as image.
Image or any other files has to come as a resource not as content.
I was asked for a usecase where I have to filter ActionEvents on type of Page that action is being is being called from.
Example
use case: I have a login page and I have to capture analytics of its events
Can I do something like this
String json = {"PageLevel":"LoginPage","ActionLevel":"LoginButton"};
WLAnalytics analytics=new WLAnalytics();
analytics.log(message, new JSONObject(json));
Will this work... can we create custom chart with first property being ActionLevel and filter it as per PageLevel.
No this will not work. Custom analytics can only be logged in key value pairs i.e. you cannot send two key value pairs in one JSON object. This is a good idea though, I recommend you submit an RFE.

I'm using JMeters to automate API testing to/from our database using basic CRUD methodology. After the record creation, I'm trying to perform 3 different types of Reads (think CRRRUD). :)
Read 1 - Retrieve by ID
HTTP (GET) the base URL is appended with the saved record ID.
http..../crud/tableName/${newRecordId}
This returns
Read 2 - Retrieve by field type with no defined value
HTTP (POST) the base URL is extended with a "search" as the end. A Key is defined ("name") with no value.
http..../crud/tableName/search
Parameter Name = name
Value = {undefined}
This returns all records within the table whose field ("name") is not null.
Read 3 - Retrieve by field type with a defined value
HTTP (POST) the base URL is extended with a "search" as the end. A Key is defined ("name") with the value generated during the creation request.
http..../crud/tableName/search
Parameter Name = name
Value = Metropolis
This, too, returns ALL of the records within the table instead of just the record(s) whose name = Metropolis.
This 3rd Retrieve works properly when using a REST client, (e.g., Postman, Advanced REST Client, etc.) when defining the Key|Value pair as "name|Metropolis". So it must be something within JMeter that I'm missing.
Any insight is appreciated!
There is only one correct answer: compare what's being sent by REST Client and JMeter using sniffer tool (i.e. Wireshark), detect the differences and configure JMeter accordingly.
Just a guess: given you mentioned "API" an "REST" words maybe you need to pass it as JSON like:
{"name":"Metropolis"}
as a single parameter value
or in formatted way (in case if server checks Content-Length and/or wants the request to be properly formatted)
You may also need to add HTTP Header Manager in order to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json. See Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter guide for more details.
Here is my query string
https://api.meetup.com/2/open_events?country=us&state=ca&city=sanfrancisco&category=34&page=10&group_photo&sign=true&&sign=true
I'm having no success reaching the group_photo resource.
In the docs they say:
group_photo
Returned when fields request parameter contains "group_photo".
Represents photo for the group hosting the event
I tried changing group_photo to group_photo=true but that didn't help.
Here's the console if you wanna test it
From the Meetup API documentation:
fields: Request that additional fields (separated by commas) be
included in the output
and
group_photo: Returned when fields request parameter contains
"group_photo". Represents photo for the group hosting the event
so you must add fields=group_photo and the call you gave above would be be something like:
https://api.meetup.com/2/open_events?country=us&state=ca&city=sanfrancisco&category=34&page=10&fields=group_photo&sign=true&sign=true
