I want to clear this up right now, regarding this post. This is NOT a Splunk REST API issue. 🙂 This has been narrowed down to a Django REST API call to a third party module called GraphViz, and the url attribute value for the jQuery Ajax call ends with a method call in the api of the Django project. Sorry. But it's complicated as you can well imagine. Who to "blame?" So many layers, and I'm new to this project and these technologies, so it was easy to be misled. Have a good day, community. ...

The actual problem lies in the JS script tag region instantiated just before the closing body tag. When the Zoom OUT feature doesn't show up in the plot, there is an AJAX call to the Splunk REST API that fails in the browser debugger console. That REST API call is to the SVG(scalar vector graphic) library routine that lets you pan/zoom the SVG rendering, and there isn't a need to recall the search manager to do it. That's why it's so fast. No search manager job latency. Just rendering of the partial DOM associated with the chart. But who is to blame is still what I don't know yet. The players in this dilemma are the following: jQuery RequireJS XMLHTTPREQUEST(Async AJAX GET) SPLUNK REST API SVG library routine used by the SPLUNK server Note: The failure shown in the debugger console ONLY says that it can't reach the SPLUNK server through it's REST API, via the AJAX call. But occasionally, it CAN. 😞 <script style="text/javascript"> requirejs(['jquery', 'svg-pan-zoom'], function(jquery, svgPanZoom) { $(document).ready(function () { $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: "/api/v2/graph/2243/svg/", success: function (obj) { $("#svg").html(obj.data); var panZoom = svgPanZoom('#svg svg', { minZoom: 0.1, zoomEnabled: true, controlIconsEnabled: true, fit: true, center: true }); // Get the container sized correctly $("#svg").css({ width: "100%", height: $("#svg svg").height() + 40, 'max-height': '600px' }); // Now set the svg to use 100% $("#svg svg").css({width: "100%", height: "100%", 'max-height': '100%'}); // Get the menu in the right spot panZoom.resize(); // On any move readjust it. $(window).resize(function () { panZoom.resize(); panZoom.fit(true); panZoom.center(true); }) } }); }); }); </script> ...

Thanks for the quick reply, Martin. Yes, there should be, but it's not there. I now suspect it might related to the encapsulation using Bootstrap's wrath-content-box in the grid layout. I will try to fix that and see if the link to the reset button comes back. The Splunk, default dashboard definitely shows what you've just said exists. Best Regards, Carl ... View more
