How to attach external documents to Dashboards.

[apakhomov]

Hello All,

I created the user manual for the dashboard and wanted to place the file on the Splunk server and to place a link for it on the dashboard.
I was surprised when I didn't find appropriate information in the Splunk docs.

I spent some time and found the following solution:

• Copy the file to the appserver/static folder (for example I use the search app and the file name usermanual.pdf): /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/docs/usermanual.pdf
• In the dashboard xml file place the following module: I hope this information will be useful for someone else.

Best regards, Artem.
