useless pie chart format options

dianbo_1 — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:43:51 GMT

Hi,

I want to gererate a pie chart, and use the following lines. But I find some options are useless.

legend.placement=top. There is no legend in the chart.
charting.sliceCollapsingThreshold=0.2. It always uses the default value 0.01.
charting.sliceCollapsingLabel=Other User. It displays the dafault value "Other".

Is this a bug or i missed something? Is the option name in advanced view "charting. XXXX" or "charting.PieChart.XXXX"?

Thanks & Regards,

Dianbo

The parameter names should be:

charting.legend.placement
charting.chart.PieChart.sliceCollapsingThreshold
charting.chart.PieChart.sliceCollapsingLabel

thank you for your reply, even so, it does not take effect.

It looks like it might actually be "charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold" now.

this works for me on Splunk 5.0.5:

<param name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0</param> OR 
<param name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0.00</param>

and this don't

<option name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0</option>
