Module logic flow

The main concept of nested modules is that parent (upstream) modules affect child (downstream) modules. Looking at the first panel, the full module flow is as follows:

<module name="ExtendedFieldSearch"> <module name="TimeRangePicker"> <module name="SubmitButton"> <module name="HiddenSearch"> <module name="ViewstateAdapter"> <module name="HiddenFieldPicker"> <module name="JobProgressIndicator"> <module name="EnablePreview"> <module name="HiddenChartFormatter"> <module name="JSChart"> <module name="ConvertToDrilldownSearch"> <module name="ViewRedirector"> <module name="ViewRedirectorLink">

A reference to the modules installed in your instance of Splunk is available at /modules. In my case, the full URL is as follows:

http://localhost:8000/en-US/modules

Let's step through these modules in turn and discuss what each of them accomplishes:

ExtendedFieldSearch: This provides a textbox for entry. The parameters for this module are complicated and represent arguably the most complicated aspect of advanced XML intentions. Intentions affect child modules, specifically HiddenSearch. We will cover them in the Using intentions section.

TimeRangePicker: This provides the standard time picker. It affects child HiddenSearch modules that do not have times specified either using param values or in the query itself. The precedence of times used in a query is as follows: Times specified in the query itself

Times specified via the earliest and latest param values to the search module
