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.

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
