HiddenPostProcess issues

I have a problem with using a common search for more tables in a view.

I'm trying to follow the instructions in the documentation.

The issue I have is that I can see now results in my timechart. The singlevalue field, however, IS updated:

<module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row3_col1" autoRun="True">
<param name="search">index=os sourcetype=vmstat host=problemhost earliest=-4h@h | multikv fields loadAvg1mi, swapUsedPct</param>
<module name="HiddenPostProcess" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="CPU Load">
<param name="search">| timechart avg(loadAvg1mi) by host</param>
<module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
<param name="charting.axisTitleY.text">Load</param>
<param name="charting.chart">line</param>
<param name="charting.chart.stackMode">default</param>
<param name="charting.legend.placement">none</param>
<param name="charting.primaryAxisTitle.text">time</param>
<param name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">gaps</param>
<param name="charting.chart.showMarkers">false</param>
<param name="charting.layout.splitSeries">false</param>
<module name="JSChart">
<param name="width">100%</param>
</module>
</module>
</module>
<module name="HiddenPostProcess"
layoutPanel="panel_row1_col2" group="SIngle value">
<param name="search">| stats count</param>
<module name="SingleValue">
<param name="field">count</param>
<param name="afterLabel"> events</param>
<param name="classField">range</param>
</module>

</module>

Actually, I found out one workaround solution for this. Apparently, there is only an issue with multikv-extracted values. So, I appended an eval to the base search:

<param name="search">index=os sourcetype=vmstat host=problemhost earliest=-4h@h | multikv fields loadAvg1mi, swapUsedPct |eval load_average=loadAvg1mi</param>

...and did the timechart on the eval'd values:

<param name="search">| timechart avg(load_average) by host</param>

I've left out one chart to keep it as simple as possible.
