Splunk Add-on for NetApp Data ONTAP: Why doesn't a search that only uses source & source types not work unless i add an index?

Skins
Path Finder

Using a Splunk built app (netapp) where all the searches start with source OR source type.

Now these searches should just work so they are index agnostic correct ? - well they don't, unless I add the index to the searches beforehand.

index=ontap

But that means i have to edit each panel\macro etc to make the searches work.

Am i missing a step ?

gratzi

Yes, you have to add role to your account, this will add index to default search.

the last step.

To add role to your user go to Settings > Access controls > Users.
