Dashboards & Visualizations

Time Chart not dynamically changing when I select a different time

I have added a Time input to my chart, however the display does not update to show the selected time period. I have selected "Search on Change" - but this didn't help. What could I do to fix it?

As always, any help greatly appreciated.

OK change the earliest and latest tag values to $field1.earliest$ and $field1.latest$ respectively

I don't think so - what would I need to change to do that?

It depends on whether you are using Classic Dashboards or Dashboard Studio

Ahhh - got you (I think!)

Default (this is for each timechart on the dashboard):

| timechart values(value) by mac_address</query>
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>

Changed to:

| timechart values(value) by mac_address</query>
<earliest>$field1.earliest$</earliest>
<latest>$field1.latest$</latest>
</search>

It seems to have worked (I has to save as a new dashboard).

Many thanks again - you are a superb help.

Tokens aren't always evaluated in edit mode so you have to save the dashboard to see their effects.

It's returning an invalid value:

I meant the earliest and latest settings for the searches in your panels not the timepicker input

Either edit the search for each panel, or switch to source code and change the SimpleXML tag values

Are you using the token in your searches for your panels? If so, can you show how you are doing that?
