How can be a complex, graphical report done/export?

ikulcsar — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 12:40:27 GMT

Hi there,

What are the possibilities with Splunk to generate and export a complex report with graphical elements, too?
I know there is a pdf export, but so far looks like it has several limitations. I know that chart/tables can be exported separately.

Can Splunk generate a fancy, well-formatted pdf/docx/etc report? (Scheduled.)

Thx,
István

Anything you can put on a dashboard - which is everything Splunk can do - can be output as a PDF manually or on a schedule of your choosing.

Make whatever searches or visualizations you'd like, save them onto an existing or new dashboard panel, and then schedule them.

Some links -

From the search tutorial, which I'd recommend going through - creating dashboards.
From the Visualization manual - outputting or exporting that as a PDF (includes scheduling it).
And lastly, use your favorite search engine and search for "Splunk dashboard". All that can be done, and exported as a PDF.

Hi,

Thx for the replay.
Unfortunately, I already checked those links. As you can see there are several limitations in pdf export.
On splunkbase I found two apps:

Smart PDF Exporter for Splunk
Office Documents Template System (ODTS) for Splunk

I interested if there are any other simple, flexible out-of-the-box tricks/solutions.
