Problems with the current design:

• Its isn't obvious that the search running is actually the ping executing
• The submit button sometimes runs the speedtest when the users didn't press submit
• The historical charts don't update when the speedtest completes
• It would be nice if the three stages (ping, upload, download performance) could happen serially so that the user gets input faster

Might just want to have a modal for kicking the speedtest off. This widget could show that the speedtest is running.

I have this working but with some caveats:

1. The base search is not working on the results page
2. I cannot get the parameters from the execute page to work with the search command because I cannot figure out a way to swap the search effectively between the one that gets the most recent result and the one that gets the results from the speedtest search command

Here is some information on the token model:

I wonder if it would be better just to have a search parameter runs and server tokens in the search string. Then, I could just listen for the search call and clear the runs and server parameters if the executed parameter indicates that the search has never run.

I also want to kick the searches on the results page to reload.

sourcetype="speedtest" | delta ping as jitter p=1 | eval jitter=abs(jitter) | stats max(ping) as max min(ping) as min avg(ping) as avg avg(jitter) as jitter | transpose

Might find an option in TokenUtils.replaceTokens() that could work.

TokenUtils.replaceTokens() doesn't handle all of the token processing like I was hoping. It doesn't resolve the prefix and suffixes like I was hoping.

Trying another technique.

In this case, I put all of the tokens in the search. Then, I have the JS set the tokens in order to get the search to run the initial time.

The only problem with this is that the search gets auto-submitted when the inputs change. I only want the search to run when the button is pressed. I tried setting searchWhenChanged="false" but the tokens still get set which causes the search to execute. Clearing the tokens also doesn't stop the search from executing.
