https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Variable-in-dashboard-description/m-p/248829#M15506 <P>What is the best way to have the &lt;description&gt; tag in a dashboard reference a variable? Let's say that I want to display a disclaimer or other information for a set of dashboards and don't wish to edit each one as often as it changes. I know I could probably use HTML or CSS for this, but wanted to know if anyone has a better way or if splunk supports this natively.</P> <P>Thanks</P> Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:46:44 GMT jawebb 2015-11-23T18:46:44Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Variable-in-dashboard-description/m-p/248829#M15506 <P>What is the best way to have the &lt;description&gt; tag in a dashboard reference a variable?

To update the displayed information in all dashboards just edit the | eval comment=<STRONG>"Disclaimer"</STRONG> in the saved search.</P> Tue, 24 Nov 2015 07:57:27 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Variable-in-dashboard-description/m-p/248830#M15507 HeinzWaescher 2015-11-24T07:57:27Z
