Hi guys, i am having an issue with the xml script in the last line but i cant seem to figure out how to make it valid as i have.
Have tried double quotes but does not work.
data-options='{
"app": "simple_xml_examples",
"preview": true,
"search": ""sourcetype = a NOT (is OR you OR the OR chinese)' title="*" | eval words=split(title," ") | stats count words""}

To post special characters into Splunk answers insert a new line and then indent 4 spaces
like this
<xml for ever>

The xml should look like so (row should be inside search)
<search id="tagcloud_search1">
<query>index=_internal source=sourcetype = a NOT (is OR you OR the OR chinese)' title="*" | eval words=split(title," ") | stats count words""}</query>
<row>
<panel>
<html>
<h2>Pipeline</h2>
<div id="tagcloud1"
class="splunk-view"
data-require="app/social/components/tagcloud/tagcloud"
data-options='{
"minFontSize": 14,
"maxFontSize": 55,
"managerid": "tagcloud_search1",
"valueField": "count",
"labelField": "words"
}'>
</div>
</html>
</panel>
</row>
</search>

If you pasted in the xml I posted exactly you will not have encountered an error. Premature end probably means you have an un nested element. Do you have something like this?
<search>
</search>
<row>
</row>
That will throw the premature error. Instead your xml should look like this:
<search>
<row>
</row>
</search>

Hi below is the code snippet.
XML
<search id="tagcloud_search1">
<query>index=_internal source=sourcetype = a NOT (is OR you OR the OR chinese)' title="*" | eval words=split(title," ") | stats count words""}</query>
</search>
<row>
<panel>
<html>
<h2>Pipeline</h2>
<div id="tagcloud1"
class="splunk-view"
data-require="app/social/components/tagcloud/tagcloud"
data-options='{
"minFontSize": 14,
"maxFontSize": 55,
"managerid": "tagcloud_search1",
"valueField": "count",
"labelField": "words"
}'>
</div>
</html>
</panel>
*autodiscovery.js*
require.config({
paths: {
"app": "../app"
}
});
require(['splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'], function(){
require(['splunkjs/ready!'], function(){
// The splunkjs/ready loader script will automatically instantiate all elements
// declared in the dashboard's HTML.
});
});

Sorry I thought you were wondering how to add xml to your post. 🙂 Your question is not very clear. You say you are having trouble with an xml script. Which script? Is this a dashboard view? How do you know its invalid? What you have posted is not xml -it looks more like JSON. Can you provide some more context over what you are trying to achieve and what error you are getting

Thanks for your response.
Actually what i am trying to do is modify one of the word cloud scripts from the splunk examples (tag cloud with tokens) . I been trying to modify or change the query line to pick up my customized query. But it always prompts back for invalid xml.
