Display received html file on dashboard

[eholz1]

Hello Splunkers!

I am using HEC to send an html file to splunk. The received event contains the html lines of code.

The html is a table with some data, and forms a table with the data. Is there a way, or how can I create a dashboard from the html text that shows the table? 

Maybe another way to say this is: How can I extract the html code from the hec event, and display same on a dashboard?

Thank You So Much,

E Holz

Hi @eholz1 

This is possible with some custom JS with a classic dashboard, but not yet possible with Dashboard Studio.

Rather then me pasting the whole process here, check out https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Render-HTML-code-from-search-result-in-Spl... which gives an example of how to achieve this.

Hello There  Ultra Champ,

Thanks for quick response. I will take a look at the process. Thanks again,

Be aware though that allowing displaying an unescaped, unsanitized HTML code from potentially unknown source is not always a best idea.

Hello PickleRick,

I now know what you mean, the demo link using "| makeresults" fails. Lucky for me the html I use seems OK,

and I do get the display of the table and the data iin the html code/file, thanks for the TIP.
