Dashboards & Visualizations

How do I rename this fieldname on a row highlighting dashboard?

Hi All,

I have created a row highlighting dashboard. Since the new dashboard is not picking my own .js and .css files (tried restarting Splunk, but no luck), I just used the same files available in the row_highlighting example dashboard instead.

Now I want to rename the active_realtime_searches field (having value as "1" or "2") as Values_found, but when I used rename command, all the rows are highlighting in only green color. IS there any other way that I can rename the field, so that I can get the perfect highlighting?

Finally I found it!! unfortunately I have saved the dashboard.js file in my app path SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/my_own_app/appserver/static.
After deleting this file my dashboards are listening to my own .js and .css files. A silly mistake, but took couple of days.

The JavaScript for that example looks specifically for "active_realtime_searches". You changed the name correctly in the search, but doing so broke the JS. You'll have to modify the table_row_highlighting.js file to use your variable name. That brings us back to the real problem of Splunk not pickup up your custom JS and CSS files. Where did you put them? They should be in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/my_app/appserver/static.

yeah!! this is my another problem. I just made some modification in table_row_highlighting.js and put it under the folder SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/myownapp/appserver/static as highlightingmytable.js and restart splunk. But that isn't working. My dashboards takes the files found only under SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/simple_xml_example/appserver/static. I am not sure why this happens... because of this I am unable to hide description/sourcecode too in my dasboard.

When you renamed the file to highlightingmytable.js, did you also change the reference in the dashboard?
Could you have unintentionally saved your dashboards under the wrong app?

yes i changed the reference in the table name part mvc.Components.get('highlight').getVisualization(function(tableView) "highlight" as "newtable". Also called the same table in my xml. . IS there something else that I left out. Also i saved my dashboard in the right app.

I was referring to the (hopefully) more obvious step of changing the "script=" clause in the first line of the dashboard.

Yes!!! I changed the script and stylesheet perfect. But it didn't work out. This is the reason I was looking for a rename option 😞
