Dashboards & Visualizations

How to change the width of panels in xml on Splunk version 9.4.1?

Hi,

I would like to resize the panels that I have in a Splunk row. So I have 3 panels and I referred to some previous posts on doing the panel width resize using CSS. I remember this used to work? But I can't seem to get this working on my current Splunk dashboard. Due to some script dependencies, I am not able to use Dashboard Studio hence still stuck with the classic XML dashboard.

I referred to previous question on this and did exactly like what was mentioned but the panels still appear equally spaced at 33.33% each.

<form version="1">
<label>Adjust Width of Panels in Dashboard</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="time" token="tokTime" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>Select Time</label>

<earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>

I'm assuming you have the following sort of CSS

          #header_row .dashboard-cell:nth-child(1) {
            width:52% !important;
          }
          #header_row .dashboard-cell:nth-child(2) {
            width:24% !important;
          }
          #header_row .dashboard-cell:nth-child(3) {
            width:24% !important;
          }

which has stopped working with Splunk 9.4.

You need to add the following for each of your row definitions 

          #header_row .dashboard-cell {
            flex:unset;
          }

It's the flex attribute that is present in 9.4 variants that breaks things, so this fixes it.

This is awesome and just solved my custom panel width issue after banging my head for the last hour.  Do you know where this attribute is documented for either behavior or which CSS items are support per version of Splunk.

I very much doubt there is any kind of documentation - I know this issue has been discussed here and on Splunk Slack channels and there is more than one way to achieve this.

This site is a good resource for this type of question.
