Dashboards & Visualizations

Bar chart changes color when added to existing dashboard?

Hello Splunkers,

I have an issue with a bar chart - I have a dashboard set to dark theme. I am using splunk 8.2.4, and SimpleXML.

I create the chart from a search, convert to a horizontal bar chart - and the bars are an OK color, blue, etc.

But when I move the visualization into an existing dashboard set to the dark theme, the chart comes in as a nice orange color - then immediately switches to a gray color. The existing dashboard is from the Cisco Networks app.

Any ideas on this??

Thanks so much,

eholz1

Have you tried overriding the default colour selections?

Hello,

 

Thanks. I will see if I can find out how to override the default color selection, and report back.

 

Thank you for the tip,

Eholz1 - SimpleXML or DB Studio?? Hmmm.
