Splunk Dashboard Panels Not Rendered

Hi @Priya70 

This behaviour, where a search completes but the panel fails to render and the progress bar stays at 0%, often indicates a client-side rendering issue or a problem with the data format or volume being passed to the visualization component in the browser.

Here are steps to troubleshoot:

1. Check Browser Developer Console: Open your browser's developer tools (usually F12), go to the "Console" tab, and look for any JavaScript errors when the problematic panel is attempting to load or after the search completes. This is the most common place to find clues about rendering failures.
2. Simplify the Search/Visualization: Temporarily simplify the search query for the affected panel. Try changing the visualization type to a simple table. If the table renders correctly, the issue is likely with the specific visualization type or its configuration. If even a simple table fails, the issue might be with the data itself or a more fundamental client-side problem.
3. Verify Data Format: Ensure the fields and data types returned by your search match what the chosen visualization expects. For example, a timechart requires _time and numerical fields.
4. Consider Data Volume: While the search completes, rendering a very large number of data points or complex structures can sometimes overwhelm the browser or the visualization library, leading to rendering failure. Try adding | head 100 to your search to limit results and see if it renders.
5. Test in Different Browser/Incognito Mode: Rule out browser-specific issues, extensions, or cached data by testing the dashboard in a different browser or an incognito/private browsing window.

Do you have any base searches? Are any of the panels driven by saved searches?

If the search returns a large dataset or the panel uses a complex visualization rendering might silently fail or else Memory or CPU limitations in the browser can cause rendering to hang, especially with multiple panels loading simultaneously.

If multiple panels use similar base searches, consider using a base search with postProcess to reduce load.

Can you please paste your dashboard XML to identify the issue? I’ll take a look..
