How to add text to a chart?

tippyyy — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 15:53:28 GMT

Is it possible to add text to a chart? We have a couple of color blind users, and as far as our developers know, there's no way to add text directly on top of the chart values. I find it hard to believe that Splunk doesn't have this basic accessibility feature. Would appreciate any input on this.

Screenshots of what is currently happening vs what we would like to achieve. Thanks.

Can you please share your sample XML for this widget?

Hi, our developers have been using dashboard studio, here is the JSON associated with the component:

{

"type": "splunk.markergauge",

"options": {

"orientation": "horizontal",

"gaugeRanges": [

{

"from": 1500,

"value": "#53a051",

"to": 3000

{

"from": 1000,

"value": "#CBA700",

"to": 1500

{

"from": 0,

"value": "#dc4e41",

"to": 1000

}

]

"dataSources": {

"primary": "ds_search_7"

"showProgressBar": true,

"title": "Vaisala Record Ingress (last min)",

"context": {

"convertedColorRange": [

{

"to": 0,

"value": "#9E2520"

{

"from": 0,

"value": "#1C6B2D"

}

]

"showLastUpdated": false,

"description": "Records from EFS files (2K-8K)"

}

For Dashboard Studio, right now there is no provision for such representation in Marker gauge options.

Hi Kamlesh,

Thanks for your help. Is there another Splunk product besides Dashboard studio that will allow text on a chart? (I'm a product designer so not familiar with all the Splunk functionalities) Thanks.

Here I will suggest going with Simple XML Dashboards. It will provide you with the extensive capability of custom visualization, with 3rd party lib as well. Please check the below link for the same.
