Can you export a dashboard made in Dashboard Studio to a PDF using the API?

joeybagofdonuts — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 17:27:53 GMT

I created a dashboard in dashboard studio and want to setup an alert action that when a certain metric passes a threshold a PDF is emailed to a group of people. In my head the alert action is a a script that does an API call to generate a PDF and then emails it as an attachment to the group.

However when I use this API command the output is blank. It works fine with a standard dashboard.

curl -X POST -u <user>:<password> -k 'https://localhost:8089/services/pdfgen/render?input-dashboard=my_dashboard&namespace=search&paper-size=a4-landscape ''

My question is has the API not been updated to support exporting dashboards made in Dashboard Studio or am I missing an additional parameter?

This is currently not supported in Dashboard Studio. Can you send an email to dashboard-studio@splunk.com They may have more information for you on this topic and be interested in this use case.

Thanks @joeybagofdonuts for the question and following up via dashboard-studio@splunk.com. We don't currently support this capability, but are actively enhancing the capabilities of Dashboard Studio. The best place to submit feature requests (and to let others upvote) is on Splunk Ideas.
