This does increase the value but there is still an upper limit that is hard coded

Hi,

I 6.x and above, you can alter the max number of data points in a series for a timechart in a dashboard and stay w/in the HTML5 realm and not need to invoke Flash.

< option name="charting.data.count" >9999 </ option >

to get around the 1000 point limitation in timechart.

Have you opened a support ticket with Splunk, we are trying to get them to remove these limits and more customers will help drive this.

For simple XML, in 5.0.3.1 and above, you can set the config as below in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/web.conf
[settings]
simple_xml_force_flash_charting = true

For Advanced XML, change

layoutPanel="graphArea"> in
etc/apps/search/default/data/ui/views/charting.xml to
FlashChart.

Hope This Helps!
