I had the exact same problem. I think your xml code has to start with the panel-element. My xml started with some xml comment, which narrowed down my edit options in Splunk UI.

This is the correct answer

most likely the dashboard have been converted to an html dashboard.. is "edit source" and "edit permissions" available?!

if none is available you might have lost permissions to write the dashboard.

Hi,
It can seem be due by the search number concurrent. Because, the maximum number of concurrent searches is 8.

The first thing I'd try would be to restart the Splunk instance, it might have just disappeared due to a bug or something, rebooting the system usually helps reset things like this

Hi Madhan,
If you use a website such as www.tinypic.com

You can upload your image there, and it will provide you with a link for you to put here, and then we just load up that link and it will display the image.
