Invalid Value of argument 'display.visualizations.charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode'?

[HeinzWaescher]

Hi,

I would like to use this type of configuration in a dashboard:

<option name="charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option>

But after that, it is not possible to do changes like changing the cron schedule because of this error:

In handler 'savedsearch': Value of argument 'display.visualizations.charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode' must be either 'ellipsisEnd', 'ellipsisMiddle', or 'ellipsisStart'

Hi Heinz,

The value you provide is invalid as reporting the error. This values must be ellipsisEnd, ellipsisMiddle, or'ellipsisStart .

The value you provide is valid for :

<option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option> 

This is an code example who take the options both :

<dashboard>
  <label>Storwize Pool Stats</label>

Hm the documentation says it can be user for this property...

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Viz/ChartConfigurationReference

charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode (ellipsisEnd | ellipsisMiddle | ellipsisNone | ellipsisStart) ellipsisMiddle Determines how to display labels that overflow layout bounds by replacing elided text with an ellipsis (...).
