Splunk App for Unix and Linux: How to bring certain panels to a separate, home dashboard?

[ananthan123]

Hello,

I have installed Splunk App for Unix and Linux and I would like to bring some of the panels to a front/home dashboard. Is there a way I can bring those views to my dashboard?

I copied the XML into dashboard and it is not working. Do I need to do anything else?

For "Splunk App for Unix and Linux" we have no option to edit Panel directly.

As an alternative we can edit app views, please check below mentioned steps:

1. Select "App" from left top, attaching screenshot for reference
   

2. Click on "Manage App". From app context select "Splunk App for Unix and Linux".

3. Now sort the table with field "Config type" and check for "views".

This will result in all default/inbuilt dashboard "xml" code.

1. Now go back to "Splunk App for Unix and Linux" and click on search option.
2. Create a dummy dashboard and replace the dashboard code with required default/inbuilt code (Captured from step 3)
3. Select/add any additional panel and save the result as a dashboard.

Hope this will help.

<param name="text">View</param>

The dashboard and view has different syntax in the top and it won't work.

Thank you very much. Let me try and let you know.

Thank you very much, but there is no edit option for "Splunk app for Unix". Am I missing some thing?

That means your role doesn't have edit/write permission on the app and/or dashboard from unix app. May be work with your admin to get the prebuilt panel created (and ask her/him to give read permissions for your role)

Correct, Yes, I want to bring certain panels to home dashboard, but those panels are saved as view and it is from the Unix App. I would like to bring that to home dashboard.

I have already created the home dashboard, now trying to bring panels from different apps to home dashboard.

What you can do is, (will work if those panels are not using any form input tokens)
1) Go to Unix app dashboard/view that contains those panels.
2) Click on (top right) Edit->Edit Panels
3) For each panels that you want to export, click on setting icon (gear symbol on top right of the panel) and select 'convert to prebuilt panel'. Provide appropriate ID and save the panel.
4) On your home dashboard, go to Edit-> Edit Panels.
5) Click on Add new panel and select the Prebuild panel option to select the one you saved.

Do you want default/inbuilt panel to bring into front dashboard or you want to create a new one ?

[somesoni2]

Do you mean there are certain panels that want to see in/as home dashboard?
