How do I modify parts of a dashboard to show certain text as bold?

infra2sec — Tue, 10 May 2016 11:27:25 GMT

I'd like to bold certain text within my dashboard....for example "customer names" within a column dashboard. I'd like to know how to bold things at will if possible.

I tried fiddling around with XML, but didn't see any place where I could modify given titles within the dashboard.

Thanks for any info!

I haven't found a way to do it with the 'title' element the Splunk UI provides for their widgets.
You need to drop down into HTML, for example (highlighted with '**'):

  <row>
    <panel>
      **<html>
        <div> <h1>Host Count</h1> </div>
      </html>**
      <single>
        <search id="HostsCount">
          <query>| inputlookup host_info.csv | search AppTeam="$teams$" AND environment="$environment$" | stats count | rangemap field=count severe=0-0 default=guarded</query>
        </search>
        <option name="classField">range</option>
        . . .
      </single>
    </panel>
  </row>

If you just want to modify the titles and texts, you could use html module/tag in simple xml.
