Splunk Search

Why is Auto Refresh not working with Post Process Search in a dashboard panel?

Hi All,

We have a dashboard with 6 panels in which for one panel we have implemented a post process search. The issue here is for the other 5 panels, auto refresh is working fine, but for the panel with Post Process search, the auto refresh is not happening. I removed the postprocess for the same panel and checked the auto refresh worked. Used the below tag for auto refresh.
option name="refresh.auto.interval"

Anybody is facing similar issue ?

I have the same problem, I think this is because the post process search only runs if the dashboard is loaded (or the entire dashboard is refeshed).

what you can do is put the base search in a hidden panel like suggested here:

Only problem I am facing now is that I want to be able to change the auto refesh value via a pulldown menu, but for some reason this doesn't work....

You provided way too less information, so I'll be guessing here: try putting the base search into the panel and see what happens
