how to priorities the reports in a dashboard

[matansocher]

Hi

I have a dashboard with 8-10 reports, and we have in our organization a limit of 5 searches per user. I want to see few reports before the others. Is it possible to priorities the reports and start searching one report before the other?

Thanks

For whatever panels you want to run first, you can defined tokens from those search results on <done> event. See this http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1/Viz/tokens#Define_search_tokens
Set the token to something which will not affect the search such as 1=1.

Other lower priority panels should include those tokens in their search so that if they are not set (means higher priority searches are not done yet), those searches will not run.

Do you know that solution? because it gives me an error on that line:
noop
it says: Unexpected close tag

Please post the XML you are using. The issue could be a number of things depending on how you implemented it.

It is too big to post here but I will cut the most relevant parts.
after the input (that are serches by thier own) I have 4 reports like this one and they are the most important:

    <panel>
      <title>Open Tickets - All Priorities</title>
      <chart>
        <title>Service Now - Open Tickets</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=snow 
assignment_group_name=*israel* 
number!="Task*"
 dv_state="Open*" priority=* $assignee$
| dedup number 
| stats count(number) as number
| table number icon</query>
          <earliest>1483257600</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="charting.chart">radialGauge</option>
        <option name="charting.chart.rangeValues">[0,4000,6000,8000]</option>
        <option name="charting.chart.style">minimal</option>
        <option name="charting.gaugeColors">["0x84E900","0xFFE800","0xBF3030"]</option>
        <option name="height">250</option>
      </chart>
    </panel>

and after I have 6 more reports that are "less important"
example for 1 of them:

 <panel>
      <title>Service Now - Time Invested on Tickets Per Queue In Hours</title>
      <chart>
        <search>
          <query>index=snow assignment_group_name=*israel* dv_state="Clos*" number!="Task*" $assignee$

OK, what exactly is causing / reporting an error? You did not include anything about the noop tokens in what you posted, so I don't know what is or isn't working.

[matansocher]

oh sorry. I did forget to mention the line of the error.
when I try to add that code that has the tag progress and finalized, the error line is:

< unset token = "NOOP_1">noop

the error is: Unexpected close tag

[rjthibod]

That's because there is a small error in the closing tag. You should use this pattern instead.

       <progress>
          <unset token="NOOP_1"/>
       </progress>
       <done>
          <set token="NOOP_1">noop</set>
       </done>

Here is another question that did exactly what @somesoni2 suggested.

As the comments in the accepted answer say, you will need to change finalized to done.
