Href in navigation menu

annebeate — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:59:58 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to include a href to an external website in the navigation menu:

http:///soap/dashMonitor.php?width=400&url=/rest/management/reports/create/xxxx%20Memory%20Analysis%20xxxx?filter=tf%3ALast6h&type=HTML&go=Go

I used the html decoder to translate special characters such as ?, &.

http:///soap/dashMonitor.php%3F>width=400%26url=/rest/management/reports/create/xxxx%2520Memory%2520Analysis%2520xxxx%3Ffilter=tf%253ALast6h%26type=HTML%26go=Go

I'm able to save the navigation file, but still I get error message 404. I get this error:

The requested URL /soap/dashMonitor.php?>width=400&url=/rest/management/reports/create/xxxx%20Memory%20Analysis%20xxxx?filter=tf%3ALast6h&type=HTML&go=Go was not found on this server

Help appreciated 🙂

Regards,
AB

Hi annebeate,

take a look at the docs http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/Viz/OverviewofSimplifiedXML#Special_characters_in_XML_files

Thank you! I added "amp;" to "&" and that worked 🙂

cheers, Anne Beate
