Dashboards & Visualizations

Search waiting for input... no chart is displayed when running Dashboard

When using the following search:
source="HomeDP561210.csv" host="Owner-PC" sourcetype="csv" ContractingAgency="" tag=Home tag=Home | eval ActionObligationS1=tonumber(replace(ActionObligationS,",","")) | eventstats sum(ActionObligationS1) as Total | eval Total=if(Total>0,"$".tostring(Total,"commas"),"($".tostring(Total-1,"commas").")")

  1. When creating a Bar Chart in Visualization with the Top values
    of my above search which we then change to a Pie Chart, we save as a Dashboard panel

  2. When viewing the saved Dashboard panel the message "Search is waiting for input..." is displayed without the newly created Pie Chart.

Hi,

change it to this:

source="HomeDP561210.csv" host="Owner-PC" sourcetype="csv" ContractingAgency="" tag=Home tag=Home | eval ActionObligationS1=tonumber(replace(ActionObligationS,",","")) | eventstats sum(ActionObligationS1) as Total | eval Total=if(Total>0,"$$".tostring(Total,"commas"),"($$".tostring(Total-1,"commas").")")

It looks like a conflict with the token syntax on dashboards, i only changed from one dollor sign to two dollar signs. ($ -> $$)

Greetings

Tom
