Color map not working on New Relic Splunk App

ShaneNewman

In version 2.0.0 of the New Relic Splunk App (UI), the color mappings are not working in the Applications Overview table. This is a minor issue and does not prevent the app from being useful, it would just be nice to have it working as documented. There are no errors in splunkd.log about not being able to render the color mappings, which is making this difficult to troubleshoot.

This app is managed via the deployer in a 5 node SHC, all nodes are rendering without the color mappings. Is anyone else having this issue with the New Relic Splunk app? I have tested on Safari and Chrome, cleared cache, re-applied the bundle and performed a rolling-restart of the shcluster members.

We are running Splunk 6.4.4

in the latest version of 6.x Dash examples:
Likely only means there is some other way....still poking at 6.4.4 viz docs

Im thinking this:

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.4/Viz/ChartConfigurationReference

charting.fieldColors    Map of hex colors.
See description.

—
The map of hexadecimal color values to use for each field.
A map is a comma-delimited list of key/value pairs, enclosed in curly braces.

Keys are separated from their values by a colon.

Example:

{"foo\: bar": 0xffff00, foo: 0xff0000, "foobar": 0x000000}

Escape the following special characters in a key or string value with double quotes:

[]{}(),:"
Escape existing double quotes or backslashes or colons with a preceding backslash.

See Specify custom colors for fields in charts for an example.

its close, but yeah, the 6.6.1 option is way easier to manipulate from the gui

looks like that js will do it, if upgrade is not an imminent thing...

We are planning an upgrade to a more recent release in the next month or two. Is it safe to assume that this update will be needed for a 6.5.x release as well?
