In a contextual drilldown, how is the search query or URL typically constructed?

By using JavaScript to access the browser's history

By randomly selecting from predefined queries

By incorporating tokens that reference the clicked field's values

By using static text that never changes

A security team has a dashboard showing notable events. They want to add a button next to each event that, when clicked, opens a VirusTotal lookup for the file hash associated with that event. The URL format is 'https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ '. Which Splunk feature should they use to achieve this?

Configure a 'Search' event handler that runs a lookup search against VirusTotal.

Use an 'Event Action' in the dashboard's search to link to the external URL.

Create a 'Change' event handler that updates a token with the hash and then opens the URL.

Add a 'Click' event handler to the row that opens a custom URL.

What is the purpose of a 'change' event handler in Splunk?

To run a search when a user clicks a button

To respond when the value of an input element changes

To link to an external resource
