Pi-hole DNS App for Splunk: Why are dashboards not populating?

I have configured the Pi Hole TA, App and CIM and when I open the dashboards it is empty with No Results Found.

I can run this search and it shows the count in the thousands:
| tstats local=f summariesonly=t allow_old_summaries=t count from datamodel=Network_Resolution.DNS

When I run sourcetype=pihole, events come back, but no fields are listed.
What did I do wrong?

Look here: https://github.com/ZachChristensen28/TA-pihole_dns

Create a new file: /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-pihole-splunk.conf.
Add log-queries=extra to the file. save and close the file
Restart pi-hole with pihole restartdns

I had to do that for the extractions to begin working correctly as well.
