Dashboards & Visualizations

I have a chart question

Well hello there....

I have been reading about the charting options and I'm still a bit lost on how to change something.

I originally had a single value display that looked like this on a dashboard:

<label>Balance Email Summary - Last 24 Hours</label>
<row>
<single>
  <title>Total Emails To Send For All Registries</title>
  <searchName>balance_email_to_send</searchName>
  <fields>TotalEmailsToSend</fields>
</single>
<single>
  <title>Total Emails Sent To All Registries</title>
  <searchName>balance_email_sent</searchName>
  <fields>TotalEmailsSent</fields>
</single>

I now wanted to take out the single and make it into a chart. The problem is if I do that, the values at the bottom of the chart are not reflecting on the numbers that are present after the search is complete. The numbers only go from 0-100 and I really would need them to go from like 1000 to 2000.

How can you change the numbers at the bottom of the chart?

advanced xml is here i believe:

  <module name="HiddenSavedSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="Total Emails To Send For All Registries" autoRun="True">
<param name="savedSearch">balance_email_to_send</param>
<param name="groupLabel">Total Emails To Send For All Registries</param>
<module name="ViewstateAdapter">
  <param name="savedSearch">balance_email_to_send</param>
  <module name="HiddenFieldPicker">
    <param name="fields">TotalEmailsToSend</param>
    <param name="strictMode">True</param>
    <module name="JobProgressIndicator">
      <module name="EnablePreview">
        <param name="enable">True</param>
        <param name="display">False</param>
        <module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
          <param name="charting.chart">bar</param>
          <module name="FlashChart">
            <param name="width">100%</param>
            <param name="height">400</param>
            <module name="ConvertToDrilldownSearch">
              <module name="ViewRedirector">
                <param name="viewTarget">flashtimeline</param>
              </module>
            </module>
          </module>
          <module name="ViewRedirectorLink">
            <param name="viewTarget">flashtimeline</param>
          </module>

The search for "balance_email_to_send" looks like this:

sourcetype="cron_BalanceEmail" (source="asia" OR source="info" OR source="org") starthoursago="24" BalanceEmail sent | rex field=_raw "[BalanceEmail] ?(?[\d]+) of (?[\d]+) of email notification sent." | search TotalEmailsToSend="*" | chart sum(TotalEmailsToSend)

Can you add the search that you're using? Also the simplified XML converts to advanced XML under the hood and there's often problems in the conversion -- tacking ?showsource=1 on the URL, scrolling down and copying-and-pasting the advanced XML may reveal where it's gone wrong.
