Hello @mprreddy51,

In Splunk 6.4 there are new APIs for adding custom visualizations to Splunk. You can essentially build an app that contains a visualization written in Javascript, then use that visualization in any dashboard. There are also some new Splunk supported visualizations that ship as standalone apps and a growing list of community built visualizations.

If you want to write your own visualization, there is a tutorial to get you started here:

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.0/AdvancedDev/CustomVizTutorial

An you can see the list of available visualizations that are ready to be installed on Splunkbase:
