Feature Request: How to embed a dashboard (not a report) that is updated every hour in a webpage?

lquinn — Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:12:18 GMT

Hi, I have been looking through all of the questions and answers on this subject and a lot of them seem to be outdated. I have successfully embedded a report in a webpage, however I would like users to the be able to click on a link and see the whole dashboard. Is there any way to easily embed a dashboard to a webpage and for it to be updated say every hour?

Hello lquinn,

Can you add a static link in the dashboard itself using the html tag?

Regards,
Olivier

Hi lquinn,

I think starting Splunk 6.1, there is a nice feature called embed scheduled reports which does what you want. Please see the docs for more information on Embed scheduled reports.

cheers, MuS

I don't think that would work, I basically just want to embed the dashboard to my website, just like I would embed a report, so that people can view the dashboard on my website and it would contain information that has been updated on a regular basis. I know I can do this by separating it into different reports however I would rather keep it all together.

I have looked at this, however I would like to embed the whole dashboard, not just a report. Thanks!

Do we have an option to embed dashboard?

Yes, excellent feature: embedding a custom dashboard in a website.
Any idea if this will be possible in the future ?

bump. this would be a great feature to add to the roadmap. Having the ability to add dropdowns/radios along with content on a collaboration site...

Absolutely need this. I have hundreds of dashboards that I would like to embed. Each dashboard has from 2 - 20 panels. With the current limitation of only being able to embed reports, I would have to manage many thousands of saved reports rather than only a few hundred dashboards.

This unfortunate limitation is driving me to use Tableau for publishing visualizations when I would really prefer to use Splunk.

I downvoted this post because the link does not exist.

Down voting an almost 3 years old post because of a broken link?!? Seriously?

But hey, that's why we are here - to help 😉 Link is updated and looking forward to your up-vote.

cheers, MuS

I got downvoted recently for a very old no-longer-in-context answer, too. The funny thing is, when I deleted the answer, the Karma did not return (unlike how Karma goes away if somebody unaccepts an answer).

Isn't that kind of sad?!? People down vote old answers just because of broken links or on longer valid answers???
I mean valid answers for Splunk 4.x which are maybe no longer valid for Splunk 6.x don't deserve a down-vote!
Let's get the FeZ powers working ...

I'm sorry, I thought downvoting might be used to help other find relevant answers to questions they have today, did not realize so many ego's would be bruised in the process.

The major problem here is that there is no way to tag Splunk versions in Answers and therefore give/provide people like you a valid way to search for information that is only valid/related to your Splunk version.

This is not related to ego's would be bruised in the process 🙂

Right, I am complaining about broken-ness of the system, not really about downvoting, but since the topic came up, maybe read and contribute your opinions here:
