Hi All,

We have a Splunk distributed environment running on 6.5.2 version. I have tried to create a dashboard using some check box tokens but have not succeeded. It is throwing some errors saying that:

Warning on line 3: Node is not allowed here

Below is the xml I have been using:

As I am beginner for xml, I am unable to resolve the issue. Could you please help me in resolving this? Does it require any .css files to be stored in the app?

Thanks in advance.

<form>
<label>testCb</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="checkbox" token="txn_indexer" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>Select Indexer</label>
<choice value="host1">host1</choice>
<choice value="host2">host2</choice>
<default>host1</default>
</input>
</fieldset>
</form>

You are missing fieldset tag in the xml code

As I am unable to add the xml code to question, I have added it as a comment here.

@siva_cg

you are missing &lt:fieldset> and </fieldset> tag. Place your input tag between fieldset tags
