[[drilldowns]] | ||
== Use drilldowns for dashboard actions | ||
|
||
Drilldowns, also known as custom actions, allow you to configure a | ||
workflow for analyzing and troubleshooting your data. | ||
Using a drilldown, you can navigate from one dashboard to another, | ||
taking the current time range, filters, and other parameters with you, | ||
so the context remains the same. You can continue your analysis from a new perspective. | ||
|
||
For example, you might have a dashboard that shows the overall status of multiple data centers. | ||
You can create a drilldown that navigates from this dashboard to a dashboard | ||
that shows a single data center or server. | ||
|

=== How drilldowns work | ||
|
||
Drilldowns are {kib} actions that you configure and store | ||
in the dashboard saved object. Drilldowns are specific to the dashboard panel | ||
for which you create them—they are not shared across panels. | ||
A panel can have multiple drilldowns. | ||
|
||
This example shows a dashboard panel that contains a pie chart. | ||
Typically, clicking a pie slice applies the current filter. | ||
When a panel has a drilldown, clicking a pie slice opens a menu with | ||
the default action and your drilldowns. Refer to the <<drilldowns-example, Try it section>> | ||
for instructions on how to create this drilldown. | ||
|

|
||
Third-party developers can create drilldowns. | ||
Refer to https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/x-pack/examples/ui_actions_enhanced_examples[this example plugin] | ||
to learn how to code drilldowns. | ||

[[create-manage-drilldowns]] | ||
=== Create and manage drilldowns | ||
|
||
Your dashboard must be in *Edit* mode to create a drilldown. | ||
Once a panel has at least one drilldown, the menu also includes a *Manage drilldowns* action | ||
for editing and deleting drilldowns. | ||

[[drilldowns-example]] | ||
=== Try it: Create a drilldown | ||
|
||
This example shows how to create the *Host Overview* drilldown shown earlier in this doc. | ||
|
||
[float] | ||
==== Set up the dashboards | ||
|
||
. Add the <<get-data-in, sample web logs>> data set. | ||
|
||
. Create a new dashboard, called `Host Overview`, and include these visualizations | ||
from the sample data set: | ||
+ | ||
[%hardbreaks] | ||
*[Logs] Heatmap* | ||
*[Logs] Visitors by OS* | ||
*[Logs] Host, Visits, and Bytes Table* | ||
*[Logs] Total Requests and Bytes* | ||
+ | ||
TIP: If you don’t see data for a panel, try changing the time range. | ||
|
||
. Open the *[Logs] Web traffic* dashboard. | ||
|
||
. Set a search and filter. | ||
+ | ||
[%hardbreaks] | ||
Search: `extension.keyword:( “gz” or “css” or “deb”)` | ||
Filter: `geo.src : CN` | ||
|
||
[float] | ||
==== Create the drilldown | ||
|
||
|
||
. In the dashboard menu bar, click *Edit*. | ||
|
||
. In *[Logs] Visitors by OS*, open the panel menu, and then select *Create drilldown*. | ||
|
||
. Give the drilldown a name. | ||
|
||
. Select *Host Overview* as the destination dashboard. | ||
|
||
. Keep both filters enabled so that the drilldown carries over the global filters and date range. | ||
+ | ||
Your input should look similar to this: | ||
+ | ||
[role="screenshot"] | ||
image::images/drilldown_create.png[Create drilldown with entries for drilldown name and destination] | ||
|
||
. Click *Create drilldown.* | ||
|
||
. Save the dashboard. | ||
+ | ||
If you don’t save the drilldown, and then navigate away, the drilldown is lost. | ||
|
||
. In *[Logs] Visitors by OS*, click the `win 8` slice of the pie, and then select the name of your drilldown. | ||
+ | ||
[role="screenshot"] | ||

+ | ||
You are navigated to your destination dashboard. Verify that the search query, filters, | ||
and time range are carried over. |
