Dashboards & Visualizations

CSS for view higher priority than application.css and default.css ?

Hi,

if I add a different template and stylesheet in a dashboard's xml, which one will get used if classes are not used?

Getting clearer:

my dashboard-xml gets the line:

<view template="otherdashboard.html" stylesheet="myown.css">

And in myown.css are the same classes or classes are missing, which classes will get used?

Or is it like what I have not defined in myown.css will not be interpreted?

Classes you specify in your .CSS should override values provided by the default CSS definitions. The global defaults are specified here:

$SPLUNK_HOME/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/css/skins/default/

And any application you're in will generally have its own set of additional defaults/overrides:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app>/appserver/static/application.css

Anything you don't specify will simply be inherited.
