Dashboards & Visualizations

Why does my basic query work in search, but not in dashboard panel?

When I run this basic query in search, I get results:

When I run the same exact query in a dashboard panel, I get no results:

"Search did not return any events."

I figured out what the issue was, it appears that the CSV does not work with as an events table. I changed the table to a statistics table and it worked!

Thanks Everyone!

Are you running the search in the same app as the dashboard?

Hi,
Instead of fields * try adding the fields to search, filed extraction may not happening in dashboard since it runs search in smart mode by default.

@umdterps02,

try out

yoursearch | table *

You chose the event view, you need the table command to display fields

It works in search, but not panel. I still get no results, I will have to check with admin for permissions. =(

Did you check the permissions of your lookup?

You can easily check if its a permissions issue now. Go to Settings > Lookups and find your lookup table and identify what app it belongs to. Then go to your dashboard and verify its in the same app
