My search returns results, but when I save it as a dashboard panel to display a visualization, why does it display nothing or "waiting for data"?

[Hindoo]

Hello

I enter in the search:

index =main | timechart count by sourcetype

And I "save as" a dashboard panel ...
When I go to see my dashboard, why is nothing displayed?

Hi Hindoo. It looks like I got the exact same problem that you got. Did you figure this out?

[hettervik]

Nevermind. I got an answer to my problem. 🙂

Are you viewing the dashboard as the same user? When you run the search normally are you seeing results? Can you provide any messages or errors displayed when viewing the dashboard?

which version of splunk are you using

[Hindoo]

i use splunk 6.1.2
yes the same user , and when i run the search i see the resullt .
There is no error , it display ''waiting for data"
when the panel content is statistics , it's ok , the statistics are displaying but when for exemple the panel content is Pie , it display "waiting for data" or nothing

what's the variance you get? It tends to truncate if there are too many results. Try shortening your time window...start with Last 15minutes and increase gradually.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Are you viewing the dashboard as the same user?

Hi. I have the same problem as Hindoo. You ask if the same user is used. Could there be a missing capability that prevents me from seeing results in the dashboard panel, even though I can see the results when the panel is opened in search?
