Dashboards & Visualizations

Dashboard Studio count input

I'm working with Dashboard Studio for the first time and I've got another question.

In the input on the Dashboard, I set this $servers_entered$.  I thought I had a solution for counting how many items are in $servers_entered$, but I found a case that failed.  This is what $servers_entered$ looks like.

host_1, host_2, host_3, host_4, ..., host_n

What I need is a way of counting how many entries are in $servers_entered$.  So far the commands I've tried have failed.  What would work?

TIA,

Joe

@ITWhispererThanks, but those didn't work.  I tried both of these.

| makeresults
| fields - _time
| eval count=mvcount($servers_entered$)
mvcount($servers_entered$)

The first errors.  The second returns 0.
