I had the same problem with the same dashboard. I found that the index=threat_activity wasn't being populated either.
Splunk support had me do the following:
Please remove the following from etc/apps/TA-paloalto/local/macros.conf
[tstats]
definition = tstats summariesonly=t
# definition = tstats prestats=true local=`tstats_local`
Several of the searches were not completing due to scheduler limits. I would look for status=skipped in the scheduler.log file.

Modified /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/limits.conf and increased the two settings for the scheduler section.
[scheduler]
max_searches_perc = 70
auto_summary_perc = 75
