Solved: Adding a picture to a dashboard in XML Source Code

cdson · ‎11-03-2022

Hello! So I just have a dashboard for practicing different searches and XML Code, etc (MacOS). and I was trying to include a random static jpg picture in the source code in the beginning of my dashboard. This is what I have in source code based on similar questions here on Splunk Answers:

<html>

/*this is where all my styling is for font, size, colors, alignment, etc. for a title and I wanted to include a jpg right after*/

<img src="static/app/search/images/picture.jpg/">

</html>

I'm not sure what exact file path to place my jpg or code I would need to get this to work. There are two different answers I found here on Splunk Answers:

splunk/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/images/picture.jpg

splunk/apps/search/static/images/picture.jpg

I tried both ways to no avail. (I created the folder 'images')

Hi @cdson,

you have to put your images in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<your_app>appserver/static and then this is the code to add to in a panel of a a Classic Dashboard:

  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
          <div style="width:100%;height:100%;text-align:center;">
              <img style="height:97px;border;0;" src="/static/app/<app_name>/<image_filename>.png"/>
            </a>
          </div>
        </html>
    </panel>
  </row>

Here you can find information about to do this: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DashApp/0.9.0/DashApp/chartsImage

Ciao.
