Dashboards & Visualizations

Why is my dashboard panel only displaying data from the last 2 hours with a time range set for 24 hours in Splunk 5.0.5?

I'm using Splunk enterprise 5.0.5

I have a dashboard to chart the response time of a specific transaction.

Even though I have an inline search string in a panel and have set the time range to 24 hours, the panel only charts around last 2 hours.

Is this a product limitation or does it depend on number of results?

I now have to manually run the search, export, and chart in Excel rather than exposing the dashboard to intended audience.

I assume you are being limited to 10 so Edit source and change this:

<option name="count">10</option>

To this (or similar):

<option name="count">10000</option>

Could be hitting some truncation limits as outlined here:

It's formatting the xml. I basically used:

charting.chart.resultTruncationLimit = 10000
Since my 24 hour data had around 5000 results

charting.data.count = 0

The XML for the non-working panel and the token values (usually timepicker) that cause it not to run correctly.

Here's my xml:
