Dear All,

I have to make an advanced view and insert in it a pie chart.

This is my actual xml file, but I cannot find documentation about how to make a pie chart:

template="dashboard.html">
<label>View Fede</label>
<module name="AccountBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/>
  <module name="AppBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/>
  <module name="Message" layoutPanel="messaging">
    <param name="filter">*</param>
    <param name="clearOnJobDispatch">False</param>
    <param name="maxSize">1</param>
  </module>
<module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="IPS" autoRun="True">
   <param name="search">eventtype="searchIPS1"  DestinationIP!="N/A" Severity="High" | stats count by DestinationIP</param>
   <param name="earliest">1279576800</param>
   <param name="latest">1280008800</param>
   <module name="ResultsHeader">
     <param name="entityName">scanned</param>
     <param name="entityLabel">Events</param>
        <module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
                <param name="chart">pie</param>
                <module name="FlashChart">
                        <param name="height">180px</param>
                        <param name="width">100%</param>
                </module>
        </module>
   </module>
 </module>
</view>

Have anyone a template of a pie chart constructed through advanced view?

Thank you

Using HiddenChartFormatter you can add all sorts of other stuff like colors, labels, etc.

The Pie Chart also has it's own unique custom properties: See http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1.5/Developer/CustomChartingConfig-chartlegend#piechart

Well that really should work. The only thing I can think of is that you're omitting the 'charting.' prefix, which I didnt think was required but on the other hand I've been using it for a long time as a best practice. (long story)

Try this maybe?

<module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
  <param name="charting.chart">pie</param>
  <module name="FlashChart"></module>
</module>
