How to combine 2 dashboards, each with multiple panels, into one dashboard with tabs to switch between the two types of data?

[splunker9999]

Hi,

We have 2 dashboards and each have multiple panels.

Ex:
Dashboard 1: It lists all today's data for multiple inline searches, so we used multiple panels here on this dashboard.
Dashboard 2: We have all trending data with multiple panels here.

Now we need to combine these 2 dashboards into a single dashboard with tabs as (Today's and Trending), is there a way to do this?

If we have single panel, we can build tabs using below html tags, but need your help, like how can we build this for a dashboard with multiple panels.

Used this for creating tabs in a single panel dashboard:

<ul>
       <li>
  <a href="#" class="toggle-tab" data-toggle="tab" data-elements="Testing">Testing</a>
      </li>
</ul>

Hi splunker9999

There is an examples app on splunkbase.com which contains an example like the one you are describing.

Splunk 6.x Dashboard Examples
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/

The example in question is called "Link switcher". The example code is pretty long and might be difficult to understand but you get a working example inside the app which makes it easier. You are basically using tokens and panel dependencies.

Let me know how you get along.
