Dashboards & Visualizations

After converting XML dashboards to HTML, how do I import the HTML dashboards into my Splunk Django web framework app?

Hi,

I have created a new web framework app in Splunk Django.
Now I am trying to import some of my dashboards in my web framework app by converting existing dashboards to HTML and copying those HTML files under:
Myapp
/django
/templates

but when I go to the copied HTML page through Splunk, it shows a message:
Search is waiting for input... and does nothing.

Can someone explain how to import pre-created dashboards into Splunk web framework app?

ok copy your html file here: $Splunk/etc/apps/your_app_name/appserver/static/html/. On settings -->user interface--> views, in your app context, you will see your dashboard, run it again and let me know.
Please if a folder does not exist, create it.
Thanks

Extremely sorry for the late reply. Yes I could see HTML page under

settings --> User Interface --> Views
But then How to incorporate that in my application. Sorry if my question is too naive.

On settings --> User Interface --> Views, first select your application in the App context drop down menu. After the selection, you will see the name of your html page . Under acctions , Click on open to launch the dashboard, and let me know if it is working as you need.
Thanks
