Splunk-Dashboard - how to add links as field in table visualization?

Question

I'm sending as a - payload.url field - some link for each event, but in the dashboard - table it's appeare as text and not as link.

maybe someone tried to do it?

i've added - Visit example website the tage into the payload and try to sent it in two ways:

<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit example website</a>
"https://www.example.com"

both are appeare as text and not as links.

what have you tried? Ie, what does your dashboard look like now (a screenshot would be helpful), and what does the XML underneath look like? — warren, Jan 24 '23 at 15:32
I've tried to work with the Splunk documentation about DrillDownLink to URL. but it didn't get me anywhere, about the screenshot it's a bit problematic for security reasons to expose but I can say that is just a table that one of the column values is URLs, but when you click the URL is just reads it as text and not as a link. — Yarin Michael Bouzaglo, Jan 24 '23 at 15:50

thanks all, what I needed to do is - add this:

<drilldown>
     <link target="_blank">$row.URL|n$</link>
</drilldown>

Without knowing what your dashboard looks like (a [sanitized] screenshot, XML, etc), we can only guess at what you're trying to do

That said, if you're wanting to do what I think you want to do, put the following in its own panel on your Dashboard (you'll need to do this from the Edit Source option):

{top of dashboard}
<row>
  <panel>
    <html>
      <li><a href="https://some.url/path">link text</a></li>
      <li><a href="https://other.url/path/to/link">text of link</a></li>
    </html>
  </panel>
</row>
{bottom of dashboard}
