Progress bar jumping

[rlautman]

In our Martini solution we have several dashboards which contain a few panels. I've noticed that in some of our dashboards the progress bar jumps up and down, for example the bar will load to 100% and then fall back down to 1%, then jump to around 13% then back down. I have tried changing the position of the JobProgressIndicator tag however this doesnt seem to help the issue. Has anyone encountered this issue elsewhere?

Also, keep in mind they have 33 indexers behind this search head. Could this behavior be due to distributed search?

I've posted my xml in the answers section

Heres the full xml for the dashboard - we use html formatting and the standard table view. I've tried changing where I place the bar to no avail.

Actually the first JobProgressIndicator is the only one that seems to work correctly. In other examples of our dashboards that have loading bars, I've noticed that those searches which are displayed using a html template load correctly, like the first search. We are also using distributed search.

[sideview]

I spent some time trying to reproduce using searches that shared characteristics with that first search of yours but I was unable to. Also the last time I heard about this on a customer's system it was an unsolved mystery too. Are you running distributed search? Are you able to narrow down any commonalities about the searches where the progress runs "backward"?

[sideview]

Is it just the first JobProgressIndicator that's giving you the problems? I notice that a significant amount of this XML is a bit vestigial. I can post a cleaned copy if you want, without all the parts that aren't doing anything.

[sideview]

can you post the XML? More just to rule out the XML hierarchy as a cause. I've seen this happen too, and in cases where it was unrelated to the XML hierarchy. Is the search running across multiple indexes or across multiple indexers?
