Dashboards & Visualizations

Dashboard graph format problem

I've created a dashboard and placed 3 pie charts in row 1, 3 tables in row 2, and 3 more pie charts in row 3. I can bring up each individual report without any problem. On the dashboard, the last chart in row 3 shows up as a bar chart instead of a pie chart. I tried changing the selected report to another saved report - and it still comes up as a bar chart. I made that final chart point to the same report as the entry in column 2 of the dashboard - column 2 is a pie chart and column 3 is a bar chart of the same data...

I want pie [charts] 🙂 What would cause this type of display problem and how do I fix it?

For the record, my login screen shows this version: 2010 Splunk Inc. Splunk 4.1.2 build 79191.

As a side note, I created a similar dashboard using the same reports but ordered differently (chart, table, chart in 3 rows instead of (chart, chart, chart, table, table, table, chart, chart, chart) and on this dashboard, everything comes up correctly...

Thanks,

nbc

I am having the same issue. Did you find anything other than deleting the dashboard and recreating that will fix this? Deleting and recreating is nice when teh dashboard is small, but once you have some stuff on their it is no fun to recreate.

I deleted the dashboard and created a new one. Selected exactly the same reports and it seems to be working fine. The only difference I can see is that I changed the text is a couple of the panel titles...

Sorry - not sure what you mean - where (and how) do I put it? Also, I'm not sure I can provide the actual data - this is a production system...

Try placing your dashboard here (or on paste-it) and lets see if we can reproduce this issue.
