Hi all,

Is there any possibility to show values inside the chart without bringing mouse over it. It should always be visible in chart.
Is it possible in splunk ?

Hi, is there any way we can edit the mouse hover function and change it to on-click?

Sure just use your own css file and overwrite the splunk default value

Thanks. I just knew this is possible. Is it okay if you point out which specific file am i to edit? is it on this folder?
Splunk\etc\apps\MyAppName\appserver\static\css
And what function on css file should do the trick?

I will greatly appreciate your reply.

I never tried it with mouse over, so don’t pin me down to that, but it should work like this :

yes, copy your css file to Splunk\etc\apps\MyAppName\appserver\static ( cut the "css", it should be in static, thats where splunk expect it to be)

than you just have to link it to your dashboard. Edit your source and add the css file name on top of your xml code:

I can´t tell you which css function will work, but should add an important! to the code to overwrite the splunk defaults. Like this:

#highlight td.range-higher {
    color: #ff0000 !important; 

Remember that changes in js oder css are not updated on change, so you have to debug refresh your splunk to see your changes (localhost:8000/en-US/debug/refresh)

Kind Regards

you might wanna open up your own question for that 😉

I dont want to get rid of the mouse over function and completely remove the numbers, as you say it would lose its value. However I would like to have the ability to include the numbers constantly, so on a column chart we could have the actual values printed on the columns. This would give presentations and print outs more value.

hi harry,
If the pie chart wont show values on chart without mouse on it, the purpose of the chart will be at stake, also we need
option for different sections of pie chart to be separated - this type of view is also much of a need.
We will request splunk to come with these enhancements in next version at .conf13 🙂
