How to attach external documents to Dashboards.

Hello All,

I created the user manual for the dashboard and wanted to place the file on the Splunk server and to place a link for it on the dashboard.
I was surprised when I didn't find appropriate information in the Splunk docs.

I spent some time and found the following solution:

Copy the file to the appserver/static folder (for example I use the search app and the file name usermanual.pdf): /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/docs/usermanual.pdf
In the dashboard xml file place the following module: <![CDATA[ User Manual ]]> I hope this information will be useful for someone else.

Best regards, Artem.

Thank you for sharing.

I once came across the following documentation which might be related to what you did, maybe this will also help someone.
