Creating a drop-down box with Simple XML, why am I getting "duplicate labels..." error?

[bidahor13]

Hi,

So, I'm trying to create a drop-down box to show the transfer bits for each interface as Tx_IN and Tx_out on two separate charts, but just after populating - i.e at the tab, it says " duplicate labels causing " . I've gone through the search line by line and I can't find the duplicates. Need help!

here is my XML:

Try this for your search for dropdown

index=snmp src_device!=NULL | eval link=if(src_device<dst_device, src_device, dst_device) . "<->" . if(src_device<dst_device, dst_device, src_device) | stats count by link

Just an addition; this may help as well https://answers.splunk.com/answers/289144/creating-a-dashboard-with-text-inputs-and-drop-dow.html
