v2.0.7 draws undefined elements when Path Lines enabled

[Serinu]

Hi together,

when using the recent version of Maps+ for Splunk (2.0.7), enabling Path Lines causes an unexpected behavior of the map:

• PathLines will get a new Layer named "undefined" in the LayerControl
• PathLines will get an empty popup on a mouse click
• PathLines will get the tooltip of the first row in the underlying search result

Tested under Splunk 7.2.1 and 6.5.8. Is this a bug? The Legacy Clustered Single Value Map won't create a new layer, popups or tooltips on the Path Lines. Which I assume to be the desired behavior.

Hi @Serinu

The behavior you describe is the default behavior for paths if you don't specify any additional fields to control them.

• Use the description field to control the mouse click/popup.
• Use the layerGroup field to control the layers.
• Use the layerDescription field to control the label in the layer control legend.
• Use the tooltip field to control the displayed tooltip on the path.

I've got some enhancements that I'm due to release soon. One of those is a layerIcon field to control the icon displayed in the layer control legend.

I have a related question. Is there a way to disable permanent tooltips for Path Lines, but keep it on for Markers?

Going to +1 this issue- Path lines appear as a "Undefined" layer. Cannot determine how to properly set the values.

This has been addressed and will be released shortly in an upcoming v3.0.0 release. I'll update with details once it has been released.

This has been addressed in v3.0.1. See layer priority and layer controls for details. Paths will get their own layer based on their id. Use the pathLayer field to group multiple paths together. Use layerDescription, layerIcon, layerIconSize, layerIconColor and layerIconPrefix to style the layer in the legend.
