Problem with Entering Code Sample

SarahWKarvenz — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 12:11:31 GMT

I cannot get my code to paste in as a code sample (I have another question to ask!). I have copied and pasted the advanced xml into both notepad and word, but am still unable to get it showing as xml in the preview pane below. I have tried pasting it in, then highlighting it and then clicking code block. I have tried hand-typing in the

 tags and still, the code does not show as xml.

I have tried both IE 7 and Firefox 14.0.1. I have flash installed. Is there something else I am missing to get the code block working correctly?

Thanks,
Sarah

Example of how code gets pasted:

index=errvol_summary_fivemin report="1min_Counts" NOT CATEGORY="----" orig_host=$HOST$ JVM=$JVM$ APP=$APP$ LOG_PLATFORM=$LOG_PLATFORM$ DATACENTER=$DATACENTER$ CATEGORY=$CATEGORY$
PIPELINE=$PIPELINE$ | stats sum(count) AS count by APP DATACENTER JVM CATEGORY LOG_PLATFORM orig_host PIPELINE | eval host=orig_host

True
Last 15 Minutes

True

Apparently it seems to be an issue with my preview window? Since the code now shows in my post correctly, but did not show in my preview pane correctly?

In the formatting toolbar where you enter your question, click the button that says:

101
010

and paste your code there.

You are correct. I am currently seeing a problem with the preview window.

I am still seeing the same problem with the preview window (Jan 2013)

Even then the preview window doesn't show it right.

this does appear to be a bug with the preview window

Yes, this is a known issue with the preview pane; it has been filed with the Splunk Answers team and a fix is in progress.
