Anyone know what this error means or how to fix it?

"This view has a Splunk.Module.HiddenSearch module but it is configured with no child modules to push its changes to. This represents a configuration error."

I get this in the "Overall Splunk Agent Status" window

Look like the modules needs a way to render results.
Nest:

< module name="SimpleResultsHeader" >

  <param name="entityName">results</param>

  <param name="headerFormat">Up (%(count)s)</param>

</module>

under the hiddenSearch module at layoutPanel="panel_row2_col1_grp1"

Or like so:

< module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row2_col1_grp1" autoRun="true">

<param name="search">index="splunk_monitoring" earliest=-1h | dedup server | top status</param>
<module name="SimpleResultsHeader">
  <param name="entityName">results</param>
  <param name="headerFormat">Up (%(count)s)</param>
</module>

Hi Mike,
This app was not developed by Splunk, and as such it is not covered by any support agreements in place with the company. If you have questions about the installation or operation of this app, please contact the author. However I'll email a new dashboard to you that worked for me.

Hi rick,

you probably don't remember but I took your class at the splunk.conf user conference, Anyway I don't think we coverd this in class and Im a little lost. When I get some time I will look into the App to see if I can find the problem. Do you know if the Splunk_Monitoring app is supported by Splunk Support?

If you get a change can you take a look at my other question about lookup issues

Thanks Mike
