Dashboards & Visualizations

Graphs don't always load

Hello,

I have two graphs on my dashboard, and my view is programmed in XML to refresh the page every five minutes. The issue is sometimes the first graph will display the data correctly, while the other one doesn't and vice-versa on each refresh.

This sounds like a common problem and I would assume that other people have come across this. Is there an easy solution to this?

Regards,

Steve

Are you by any chance using a browser other than Internet Explorer or Firefox? Other browsers such as Chrome are not officially supported and randomly choose not to display some graphs...had to switch to IE for Splunk.

Hi jrodman, unfortunately I don't think that it is the case also. I see no message banners appearing with a warning. Only thing I can think of it the server it runs on maybe struggling or possibly the Network connection.

One possibility is the search quotas are being blown. If so you should get message banners about this though.

Hi ftk,

We are using Firefox. The same issue seems to happen with IE too.
