Why do I sometimes get "Failed to load component" in the Events tab while performing a search?

[Kalyani_R]

During a search, the query runs and i get the extracted fields in the fields sidebar however in the panel for events I get "Failed to load component". Why is this happening?

If you "edit source" of the dashboard... Do you see any .css or .js files mentioned in the dashboards source code?

Also you can open the developer tools console of your browser and see what page assets load when you open the dashboard. You might find what component is failing to load that way.

The only components I can think of are css / js scripts, and custom images, etc. What does your job inspector say happened, when you get this error?

If it happens again you can probably find the culprit using the Dev tools menu of your browser and going to the network visualizer that shows what assets are loading and how long it takes to load each, status codes of each request, etc.

@hunters : I mean i gave some search like index=sumthing status=sumthing action=* and in the events window where the events are supposed to be listed I got this error.
@jkat54 : You must be right. when i refreshed the page twice , the error was no longer there. Thanks!

Could you please be more specific about the panel from which you get the error message? Thanks!
