Uptime Monitoring issue ver 1.2.3

When I create a new input and change the index from default to another index, nothing is logged. If I don't change the index, logging is fine. Is this an issue or should I just use the default index?

You need to add the index to the list of indexes that are searched by default for this to work. to do this:

  1. Open the role that needs to access the index from Splunk' configuration page (Access controls » Roles)
  2. Look for the option for "Indexes searched by default". Ensure that the index with the data is added to "Selected indexes".

When I search the custom index I can see data, but nothing appears on the Sparkline graph.alt text

Can you confirm that the data is available in the index by searching it directly (like using the search page to look for "| search index=customindex")?
