In this chapter, we will discuss how to create some drilldown dashboards, and add some fun functionality such as contextual drilldowns and passing variables from form to form. Form-based dashboards ease the Splunk adoption process and enable a developer to build apps that a user can simply point and click, and report on the information that they need. This helps less knowledgeable users get value out of the data that is being consumed by Splunk.
