How do I display the current date (month and year) in the title of a dashboard?

How can I display the current month and year ie "January 2015" in the title of a dashboard, ( not the search date)

/code
| makeresults
| eval prevWeekDate=strftime((now(),"-7d"),"%Y/%m/%d")
| table prevWeekDate
1

$result.prevWeekDate$

Ah, this requires a trick or two. You can't really put the date in a heading, but you could create a single value panel at the top of the dashboard, and this single value panel could contain the following search:

index=main | head 1 | eval month_year=strftime(now(),"%B %Y") | table month_year

Actually, I'll bet that you can put the data in a heading, if you write some javascript etc. I think the above method is pretty simple.

Thanks for that. I'll try it out.
