Splunk Search

Why is the default y-axis chart height setting itself to 100 in Splunk 6.3.1?

Both myself and other people using the same Splunk search head as I see this. The default charting.axisY2.maximumNumber set itself to 100 in the view for charts.
If I remove it manually, it works, it will start to use auto. But only till I refresh the chart, create another chart, or just browse around.

If I have a chart in a dashboard, there is no way for me to make it be auto when I view the dashboard. It sets itself to 100, and a minimum value of 0. If I look at the xml for the dashboard, I can see that charting.axisY2.maximumNumber is set to auto.

I have looked around for settings defining this, and tried to find an answer online, but I can't find anyone that have had the same problem.

Splunkversion: 6.3.1
Build: f3e41e4b37b2

I have tried to reproduce this on another Splunk I have access to, and it doesn't behave this way. The one I tried was version 6.3.0

Hi @eddieyugo and @HPS478

If you're experiencing the same problem described in the question, be sure to click the "ME TOO" button on the left side of the question. This will help make this issue more visible.

A temporary solution would be to manually put in "auto" as text when you need it to be auto. Leaving it blank won't do the trick.
Basically, it now defaults to 100 if blank, not auto.

This might be a problem with the python version running on RHEL6
