NetApp Data ONTAP: App is indexing events, but no information is appearing in dashboards.

I installed the Splunk App for NetApp and everything seemed to install fine. Filers and clusters were added and show "valid" connection and credentials. I can also see events being indexed via the "App Data Volume", under "Settings".
However, none of the App dashboards are populating with information. All dashboards show, "No results found."
Can anyone tell me why I am not getting any information on the dashboards?

Thanks.

1) add index=* to the start of your search. If that works, note the index that the data you want is in.
2) settings -> roles -> admin -> indexes searched by default. Add the index you want.

My problem is similar but it looks like I do not have a sourcetype of sourcetype=ontap:perf

I do not know why? what would cause that? everything else I think is working fine with the app.

But that is most of the dashboards right? I set the ontap index to be searched and can search it just fine. I see the info about each filer and when I go into filer view I see the number of CPUs, memory and aggregates but below that where the dashboards are I do not get results. The only dashboard that works is the one that shows the total storage space.

Except for the dashboards that need the "ontap:perf" sourcetype.

Sorry, my mistake. I still don't see a sourcetype of ontap:perf, but the dashboards all seem to function.

Did you add the index "ontap" to the list of indexes search by default?
I had no soucetype of "ontap:perf" until I added that index.

I don't know. Is there a file I can check to find that info?

what indexes are searched by default?

It seems that most of the dashboards require the sourcetype ontap:perf and when I do a search on sourcetype=ontap:perf, I get no events returned. My dashboard problem may be related to this, but I don't know how.
