What is this Splunk dashboard javascript error?

rashaikh — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 17:38:27 GMT

We have a custom dashboard and whenever we load it I'm getting this error " A custom Javascript error caused an issue loading your dashboard, like due to the dashboard version update. See the developer console for more details" We are running Splunk 8.2.5. Has something changed? this was working previously? any idea how I can resolve this ?

There's not enough information here to help you. Depending on what browser you're using, you can use browser tools or developer tools (ctrl+shift+i ) in most browsers) to view the javascript console, which should display a more detailed error message.

As you said - it's a custom dashboard most probably either it has some bugs or relies on elements which changed behaviour.

Hello,

We are also having issues , when trying to update the application "Splunk Dashboard Examples" from version 8.1.0 to 8.2.5. On the Overview page it gives the error: "A custom JavaScript error caused an issue loading your dashboard. See the developer console for more details."

Curently running Splunk 8.2.6.1

Anyone any ideea? Could this influence the day to day business in the future if upgrading the app?

Thank you!

hi,

Apart from adding "version=1.1" in source code, Can someone help summarize what has to be done for fixing below error-

"A custom JavaScript error caused an issue loading your dashboard, likely due to the dashboard version update. See the developer console for more details."

Came here because we're seeing the same issue in the Lookup Editor app after upgrading to 9.1.1. Users have no way to access their lookups as of now and we really don't want to roll anything back if we don't have to..

@splunk we would really appreciate an answer here..

Hi @MattHatter

Did you find a solution to this ?

We had exactly the same problem and we managed to get is resolved by editing the lookup_edit file (under Settings - User Interface - Views) as follows:

<view template="lookup_editor:/templates/generic.html" type="html" isDashboard="true" isVisible="true"> <label> Lookup edit </label> </view>

I solved the problem by updating the lookup editor app to last version (4.0.2) and editing the view as explained by tomapatan

Thanks for answering. What do you mean by " editing the lookup_edit file "? I am in "Settings - User Interface - Views" but don't see any way to edit any file or where to alter the text you refer to. Where is this file I should edit?

Make sure you are in the lookup editor app context.

If you`re using Splunk Cloud:

Thanks. I am on Splunk Enterprise on a local server. Do you know where the file you reference is and its name?
