A dashboard has a dropdown input that lets users select a server name. When the selection changes, the dashboard should automatically update a table panel to show logs for that server. Which event handler should be configured on the dropdown input to trigger the table's search?

A 'Submit' event handler that requires a button press.

A 'Search' event handler that runs a search on every page load.

A 'Click' event handler that sets a token when the dropdown is clicked.

A 'Change' event handler that sets a token with the selected value.

What is the primary purpose of event actions in Splunk dashboards?

To schedule searches for events

To allow users to interact with events by linking to external resources or running custom searches

To restrict which users can view events

To automatically format events for better readability
