I want to add a link to an external site in a dashboard description. Basically it's just a "for more information visit: http://www.externalsite.com", but I can't figure out the correct xml syntax to do this. Is it possible or am I going about this the wrong way?

I have the same issue, it seems the description can not be used for that. The only working solution for me was to add a row after the description:

<row>
<html><a href="...">Click</a></html>
</row>

If you are running 6.x version on Splunk, you can use html tag

 
        
            

HTML Panels

Easily add content to clarify use of a dashboard.

Hi, 


I tried adding <html> under <description> but I got warning that description is not supposed to have child tag.

Can you elaborate on how to exactly use the html tag in description?
