Dashboards & Visualizations

How do I display "no data found" message when there are no search results displayed for each dashboard panel?

How do I display message to the user saying "No data found" on the dashboard panel when each of the panels returns no data at all. Currently, I am hiding panels when no search results are displayed for the dashboard. So, my dashboard shows as blank when no data is been returned.

I would like to display a user friendly message to the user saying "No data found" when all the panels in my dashboard returns no results.

Thx for your help,
Sirisha

Is your dashboard in XML or HTML?

Hi smuppava,
You could see an example in Dashboard Examples app (you can download it from appbase https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/), showing an html message instead of "No data found".
something like this

  <search id="search_logic">
    <query>
      mysearch
    </query>
    <!-- Progress event has access to job properties only -->
    <progress>
      <condition match="'job.resultCount' == 0">
        <set token="show_html">foob</set>
      </condition>
      <condition>
        <unset token="show_html"></unset>
      </condition>
    </progress>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <chart rejects="$show_html$">
        <title>XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</title>
        <search>
          <query>
              myquery
          </query>
          <earliest>0</earliest>
          <latest></latest>
          <progress>
            <set token="count">$job.eventCount$</set>
          </progress>
          <cancelled>
            <unset token="count"></unset>
          </cancelled>
        </search>
        <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option>

I incorporated the above code into my query. But didn't work.

index=eapi_cloud_system_qa id-swiftid-green-ITE-app sourcetype=monitor OR sourcetype=monitor_log | appendpipe [ stats count | eval "NoResults"="No Data Found" | where count=0 |table "NoResults"]|rex field=_raw "(EC2-CPUUtilization-Percent)\w | ^:" | rex field=_raw "(Host-ProcessCPUUtilization-Percent)\w | ^:" |chart values(ec2cpu) as EC2_CPUUtilization values(processcpu) AS Process_CPUUtilization by _time span=1m

try placing the append at the very end.

index=eapi_cloud_system_qa id-swiftid-green-ITE-app sourcetype=monitor OR sourcetype=monitor_log|rex field=_raw "(EC2-CPUUtilization-Percent)[\w | ^:](?P[\w]+)" | rex field=_raw "(Host-ProcessCPUUtilization-Percent)[\w | ^:](?P[\w]+)" |chart values(ec2cpu) as EC2_CPUUtilization values(processcpu) AS Process_CPUUtilization by _time span=1m | appendpipe [ stats count | eval "NoResults"="No Data Found" | where count=0 |table "NoResults"]
