dashboard "refreshed on " is there a way to suppress this?

Can I suppress the "refreshed on: bla bla message in a dashboard chart or table?

splLastRefreshed in dashboard.js perhaps?

If you're using the advanced XML there is a way to do this, but its a little indirect.

If you're using the simplified XML I cant think of a way but maybe someone else can.

(if you want to convert from simplified to the advanced XML, see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0/Viz/Buildandeditforms#Simple_XML_and_advanced_XML.)

So assuming we're in the advanced XML, the 'last refreshed' header is tied to that panel title that you see in green at the top of the panel. So you can make the 'last refreshed' go away by making the green title go away.

And to make the green title go away, just dont specify any group="My Panel" attribute(s) anywhere in that dashboard's modules. Reload your views and both will vanish.

And if you want the green header back, you can get one manually by using a GenericHeader module. (see /en-US/modules#Splunk.Module.GenericHeader on your splunk instance for comments about that module)

that's true. I think you can add
.splLastRefreshed {
display:none;
}
to a custom CSS file. See here for custom CSS docs : http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1/Developer/UseCSS

That was easy! Just literally copied .splLastRefreshed { display:none; } to my application.css file for my app and it worked.
