Adding a button/hyperlink to external log analysis tool

Hi all,

Sorry for posting in two lists, but don’t really know where it belongs…
And I wanted to get starting in adjusting RT to our needs. (I have no experience in writing th scripts or stuff like that)
I’m running RT4.4 stable and I was querious if it is possible to add a button or linkor something in a ticket dashboard with a external request / hyperlink based on a custom field value, to for example a kibana dashboard.
The link will then take me to kibana with the search params (comming from RT) in the dashboard …

any ideas?

kind regards,

I

Hey,

This is a good topic for rt-users. I’ve removed -devel from the recipients list.On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 8:40 AM, it_stuff@telenet.be wrote:

Yep. This is totally doable.

You can make custom fields (CFs) into links via the admin web interface.

Otherwise you can enhance RT in a multitude of ways using callbacks.

Here is an example of how we have done this.

CF.{Community Bug}/TITLE:Bug’,

We’ve added this to the Format of a search under the advanced option and
added the search to a dashboard.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Hi there,
That sounds like an end user issue (it sounds like you’re not planning on
doing dev work on RT) [BCC rt-devel to drop].
What you want is straight forward and built-in. Look at Admin->Custom
Fields->Select and click on a custom field; on the Custom Field “Basics”
tab note the “Link values to” field - the description is pretty clear.

have fun
