Reporting

Why is the scheduled dashboard not returning same results when viewed manually?

One of our dashboards is giving me fits and I'm not sure where to start. When viewing the dashboard within Splunk, all panels complete as expected, returning data. If I export the dashboard to pdf, the data is there. When I schedule the dashboard, two panels always return no data. This issue appears in the test email, preview PDF, and what gets delivered each morning.

Figured it out. Seems like I may of found a bug/feature with dashboards. The dashboard panels that do not return data are configured to return data using the Splunk visualization events. Once I switched it to a table format, the data appears on the scheduled export.
