Dashboards/View without logging in

All,

Whats the current supported method for anonymous dashboards usage with Splunk? I just want to goto a page, and the dashboard appears without any authentication.

@daniel333 You can pass the username and password in dashboard URL so it will not prompt you for login, for example. See the post https://answers.splunk.com/answers/622600/how-to-pass-username-and-password-as-a-parameter-v.html

Thanks for the reply. I enabled the end point and the login works as you the linked answer describes. Is there a way to directly link them to my dashboard?

/app/myapp/myview

@daniel333 did you try using this link, replace localhost by your server URL- http://localhost:8000/en-US/account/insecurelogin?loginType=splunk&username=noc&password=XXXXXXX/app/<appname>/<dashboard name>

Hi daniel333,

if you feel enabling the enable_insecure_login option is too insecure ... then there is an app for exactly this use case.
It enables Splunk to display dashboards without the need to provide a username nor a password.

Here is the link to this app https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4377/

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
