Why does an R search not work on a dashboard?

krwinters11 — Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:23:17 GMT

I have a search that is working great in the search app of splunk that includes and R script (through the R Project App). When I save it as a Dashboard Panel the search no longer works when I go to the dashboard, but it still works in the search app. Does anyone know why?

My hunch is that the dashboard is flattening out the lines of the R search and ignoring new lines. The search works like this:
...search... | r " source('predictR.r')
output=data.frame(predictR(input)) "
BUT not like this:
...search... | r " source('predictR.r') output=data.frame(predictR(input)) "
Which is why I think that the dashboard ignores new lines when the search app does not.

Any ideas? 🙂

Maybe try inserting \n at the end of each line. Just an idea...

Could you try using < ![CDATA[ > in the dashboard?

Use ; as a statement delimiter.
