Splunk returns different result with search query and Dashboard

[kumarnis45]

Hi,

  I am running a basic search query in splunk search directly with command such as

query:

sourcetype=aws*-cloudwatch-logs file.txt | rex "RequestId: (?<reqid>[\S+]*)\s" | table reqid | dedup reqid

it return the output reqid as "72830b96-c6g3-21fg-0063-ae728c68c1fc"

But if i run the same command through the splunk dashboard splunk returing the complete raw data which i dont need. why splunk dashboard return a raw result rather than a single output?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I solved this issue by correcting the type of the dashboard as query.

@kumarnis45Check the dashboard settings by going into edit view, and check the query and the visualization are set to meet your expectations. I might guess the query is not exactly the same, or there are other things going on in the dashboard.
You are correct, that with the right configuration, the search and the dashboard should output the same data and the same visualization.
