Error: Some of the dashboard widgets show "No Data Available"

Issue description 

Some dashboard widgets display a "No Data Available" message, which impacts the real-time monitoring of data for the security operations center (SOC) or network operations center (NOC) team. Applicable across multiple builds, particularly when a dashboard is refreshed or report data is misconfigured.

Possible causes 

  • The widget has not been refreshed to fetch new data.
  • The source reports or modules do not contain any recent or relevant data.
  • The refresh interval is not configured correctly, causing delayed or missing updates.

Prerequisites 

  • Ensure that relevant log sources are added and properly configured.
  • The user accessing a dashboard must have permission to access that dashboard and its corresponding modules.

 Resolution 

 Step 1: Check the report or module data 
  • Navigate to the respective report or module related to the affected widget.
  • Confirm whether data is being collected and displayed correctly.
  • If the report shows no data, investigate log source configuration or event generation on the source system.
 
 Step 2: Check and adjust the refresh interval 
  • On the Dashboard page, click the gear icon in the top-right corner.
  • Select Refresh Interval from the drop-down menu.
  • Set the interval based on your requirements (options range from 30 seconds to 1 hour).
  • Ensure the interval is not set too high, which could delay widget updates.

 Validation and testing 

  • After adjusting the refresh interval, wait for the set duration and observe the widget.
  • Cross-verify with corresponding reports or modules to ensure data is being displayed.
  • Refresh the dashboard manually to validate immediate updates.

 Tips 

  • Use shorter refresh intervals for high-priority dashboards.
  • Ensure reports and log sources are consistently monitored for data flow.
  • Automate report scheduling where applicable to keep dashboards up to date.
