How to embed "https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation" in Splunk dashboard

Is it possible to do?

I am getting

Refused to display 'https://docs.splunk.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

<row>
<panel>
<html>
<iframe src="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation" width="100%" height="300">&gt;</iframe>
</html>
</panel>
</row>

@kumaranv 

The error you're encountering, Refused to display 'https://docs.splunk.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin', occurs because the website you're trying to embed (https://docs.splunk.com) has a security header (X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN) that prevents it from being displayed in an <iframe> on a different domain. This is a common security measure to prevent clickjacking and unauthorized framing of content.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly embed https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation in a Splunk dashboard using an <iframe> due to this restriction. The X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header means the content can only be framed by pages on the same origin (i.e., within the same domain, https://docs.splunk.com), and your Splunk dashboard is hosted on a different domain.

@kumaranv  I don't see a point to that, and would say don't do that. However, assuming you have reasons I can't think of, that's not going to be possible.

The best you could do is to use an HTML panel with a hyperlink to the specific docs you were looking to embed.
