Question on using Selenium to monitor a dashboard?

[daniel333]

All,

Just started reading "building Splunk Solutions" and they mention using Selenium to monitor and run test cases on various pages. Anyone famliar with this?

I am specifically curious about monitoring if a visualization renders? in our use case, developers released new code which changes some log formats. unknown to use several important dashboards and alerts stopped working because of this.

Can Selenium monitor more than a page loading, but also ensure a graph renders with content?

Yes, You can do many more things. i.e

1. Check if all the panels were loaded successfully including table and chart panels
2. Test combination of various filters

You need to look for the ids of the specific filters /table to write test case.
