What is it you are trying to monitor for the website URL?

What events have you ingested into splunk to help you do this?

Set up a script to check the availability of the site and record the results in a log, then ingest the log into splunk.

So it's not a question of dashboard as such, because you can visualize only what you have already ingested in splunk but an issue of monitoring the site reachability.

The easiest thing would be probably to write a script using curl or wget to check whether you can retrieve the site contents and either run it as scripted input or spawn it from cron, log output to a file and ingest the file contents.
