I am creating a Javascript app outside of Splunk, and trying to dynamically reset the number of points that get charted in a ChartView instance. I have tried doing this in two different ways, but none of the two options produces a re-render, as expected: 1- mychart.settings.set("charting.data.count", <value>); mychart.render(); 2- mychart.settings.set({ "charting.data.count": <value> }); mychart.render(); (NOTE: the suggestion that it be " mychart.settings.set({"charting.data.count", <value>}); " is actually syntactically incorrect, and Javascript complaints about it immediately) My event handler (attached to a dropdown view) is as follows: myDropDownView.on("change", function() { const numElement = parseInt( myDropDownView.val()); console.log("Trying to set bar chart to display " + numElement + " data points..."); mychart.settings.set("charting.data.count", numElement); // using alternative 1 and also 2 mychart.render(); }); NOTES: 1- I have also tried the above without converting the value retrieved from the drop down to a number (in other words, tried with a string and a number). 2- The event handler executes, since it logs as expected Am I missing something, or this setting somehow differs from all the others and cannot be dynamically updated? Further update on 3/3/20: I notice that the chart actually re-renders, but it completely ignores the changed setting (that is, it renders as it originally did before I updated the setting.) I am starting to believe this may be a Splunkjs bug... Could somebody from Splunk confirm? ... View more

I'm wondering if it is possible to use the chart visualizations from splunkjs to display data that is neither in Splunk nor it should be imported into Splunk. The use case is an app external to Splunk with a dashboard that includes some panels with Splunk-based data and others with other types of data. It would be convenient to use the same type of visualization for the two different types of data, but I'm wondering whether this is possible or not. NOTE: I've read answers to many similar questions but they all involve importing the data into Splunk one way or the other. In this case I am not interested in importing any data, but simply visualizing it. ... View more

Having read numerous posts explaining how to use "charting.seriesColors", I concluded that to set the (unique) bar color of a timechart I would need to set this property to a 1 element array (my sought after color). (note: I have something like "|timechart count " as the search associated with each ChartView) However, I have several ChartView instances on my javascript page and I'd like them to use a distinct color each. When I try setting the above property on each of these charts to a distinct 1-element array (each array using a distinct color, such as "charting.seriesColors": [0xcc5068]), this does not appear to work, and all the instances end up using the same color. Why is this? Is there a way to achieve what I'm looking for? ... View more
