Opening SystemLink Test Result From Grafana Using Dynamic Links

Prerequisites

• The SystemLink Server PC must have the following installed:
  • NI SystemLink Server - Jupyter Hub Module.
  • NI SystemLink Server - Test Module.
  • [External] SystemLink Grafana Plugin.
• A Grafana dashboard that displays result IDs from the SystemLink Test Insights page must already exist.
  • For instructions on how to obtain test result IDs refer to Get Test Insights Result ID in SystemLink Jupyter Notebook.

1. Ensure that the Grafana panel consists of a column displaying the Result ID for each individual result.
   • For instructions, see Get Test Insights Result ID in SystemLink Jupyter Notebook.
2. Hover over the Grafana panel and press E on the keyboard to enter Edit Mode.
3. In the options window to the right-hand side, scroll to find the Data Links option.
4. Click Add Link.
   • Note: this link will apply to the entire table.
5. [OPTIONAL] In the pop-up window, enable Open in new tab.
6. Enter the URL corresponding to the Test Result URL in SystemLink.
   • This URL takes the format of https://<server name>/#testmonitor/testresults/testresult/<result ID> or  http://<server name>/#testmonitor/testresults/testresult/<result ID> depending on whether your server is configured for HTTPS or HTTP.
   • To create a static link (i.e. open the same test result regardless of which table cell is clicked):
     1. In SystemLink, select Test Insights >> Results.
     2. Select the specific result that you wish to link to.
     3. Copy the URL directly into the Grafana Data Link.
   • To create a dynamic link (i.e. open a different test result depending on which table cell is clicked):
     1. The Data Link URL should be <http or https>://<server name>/#testmonitor//testresults/testresult/${__data.fields["<Result IDs Column>"]}
     2. <http or https> depends on whether your sever is configured for HTTPS. To check this, open the NI Web Server Configuration application and review the HTTPS tab.
     3.  <server name> is the name of your SystemLink Server.
     4. <Result IDs Column> is the name of the column in the table that stores the result IDs.
   • The images below show a Grafana table with a column called "Result ID", and a Data Link with the syntax http://<server name>/#testmonitor//testresults/testresult/${__data.fields["Result ID"]}

6. [OPTIONAL] To hide the "Result ID" column in the table, while maintaining the dynamic link functionality, you must configure an Override. Follow the steps below:
   1. Hover over the panel and press E on the keyboard to enter Edit Mode.
   2. From the Options window on the right-hand side, select the Overrides tab.
   3. Click Add Field Override.
   4. Select Fields with Name. In the drop-down menu, select the name of the column that you wish to hide.
   5. Click Add Override Property. In the drop-down menu, select Hide in Table.
   6. Enable the Hide in Table option.
   7. Below is a picture of the Grafana panel after enabling the Hide in Table option. The "Result ID" column is no longer visible to the user, but the dynamic links still apply.
