dashboards not populated when new index defined

I have created a new index (new_relic) and added the account input settings - the new_relic index is populated with my application
(just the one currently) however the application dashboard does not work.

If i then use the 'main' index as per the setup screenshots - the dashboards work with the same data thats alos populating the new_relic index

how to populate the dashboards using the new_relic index created.

Have checked permissions etc, new index is in context of new relic TA, the new_relic index correctly uses the newrelic:applications sourcetype.

The macro 'getsources' runs ok but only uses the 'main' index

thx

I believe you are supposed to modify the getsources macro and change main to new_relic and then everything should work.

Thanks mate - that was it.

The 'main' index wasn't specified in the macro so thats what was throwing me - so i guess it just default there.

So i changed the 'get_sources(4)' macro from:

(sourcetype=$new_sourcetype$ source=$new_source$) OR (sourcetype=newrelic_account source="$old_source$" account_id=$account_id$ ) | eval new_source = if(sourcetype="newrelic_account",input_name +":" + account_id,source), account_id = if(sourcetype="newrelic_account",account_id, rtrim(new_source,":") )

to

index=new_relic (sourcetype=$new_sourcetype$ source=$new_source$) OR (sourcetype=newrelic_account source="$old_source$" account_id=$account_id$ ) | eval new_source = if(sourcetype="newrelic_account",input_name +":" + account_id,source), account_id = if(sourcetype="newrelic_account",account_id, rtrim(new_source,":") )

All good.
