fieldColors not working for Bar chart

Hi,

I've read a couple of post in splunkbase about changing colours in bar chart however I couldn't find any of the solutions working.
Here is my splunk graph : splunk graphimgur link

and here is an excerpt from advanced xml page:
xml code

( pasting xml code directly into the post didnt work ). Unfortunately splunk doesn't pick up field colors and displays default ones.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve that problem ?

Cheers
Jakub

I had a similar problem and discovered that this doesn't work:

<param name="charting.fieldColors">

{0xFF0000,0x00FF00,0x0000FF}

</param>

But this does:

<param name="charting.fieldColors">{0xFF0000,0x00FF00,0x0000FF}</param>

Seems like something about the line breaks in the parameter breaks the functionality.

Apparently fieldColors and seriesColors work for FlashChart but not for JSChart

Can you share how did you do that? I have the same problem

To use different colours I've modified JSChart module to use param: seriesColors as colorPalette
