I've created an application that has many charts, including bar charts and pie charts. When I copy the splunk/etc/apps/myapp folder to a search head, all my pie charts turn into bar charts. Why is that and how can that be fixed?
I know how to modify the objects and turn them back into PIE charts. However, my question is how to prevent that from happening in the first place. I can't roll out the application and then fix it afterwards. That is not an option.
Thanks,
I've gone into the code and modified it to specify the specific chart type. That way, it does get copied over correctly.

If these charts were running off a saved search then you will have to go to your local folder and look at savedsearch.conf. In here, the name of your search that is producing bar charts will have a vsid. You will then need to take this vsid and look at the viewstates.conf file. The matching vsid in this file should have an attribute called ChartTypeFormatter... = bar. You should change the word bar to pie. Maybe this will help
Maybe this is the case because your original searches/reports were saved via the report builder as bar charts and not pie charts.
