Error on dashboard - splunk agent monitoring app

I get the following error on this app on the dashboard -

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 am wondering how to fix that.

I also had to edit the splunk_port_monitor.sh script because it didn't work with the the new tags.conf format. You have to change -

hosts=grep "tag::" $tag_file | cut -d: -f 3;

to

hosts=grep "host=" $tag_file | cut -c 7-| sed 's/\(.*\)./\1/';

well, at least in my world 😉

I edited the file $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_monitoring/default/data/ui/views/dashboard.xml

In section Overall Splunk Agent Status

comment out line 24 < /module>

add line 78 < /module>

This fixed the error in my installation.

I'm new to splunk, I cannot get you answer.

What should I comment out and add what line?
