Hello guys,

I'd like to hide external border lines of a panel when I hover over each panel.  By default, external border lines appear on a mouseover.

Can anyone help me disabling this default feature (even small tooltip can also be disabled if possible)? Thanks

Thanks @ITWhisperer , it's good to know that it's doable using Classic SimpleXML Dashboard. Hopefully it will also be possible using Dashboard Studio later on. For now I'll stick with it.

Unfortunately it isnt possible to disable this at the moment.

These docs (https://splunkui.splunk.com/Packages/visualizations/SingleValue) give you the options that can be passed but unfortunately the hover border isnt something that can be changed.

Regarding your question about Classic dashboards - Unless you really need to I would try and stick with Dashboard Studio dashboards as this is where ongoing development is being done (and the dashboards generally look nicer, in my opinion!)

Please let me know how you get on and consider adding karma to this or any other answer if it has helped.
Regards

Will

Studio and Classic has their pros and cons. Personally, I prefer Classic as there are more opportunities to extend the current capabilities through CSS and Javascript and custom visualisations, etc. While it is true that Splunk development is focussed on Studio, you are tied to their release schedule, so, if you have the patience to wait until the features you want make it into a release, stick with it, otherwise, Classic might give you the features already, with the compromise of losing some of the wysiwyg features of Studio.

Thanks @ITWhisperer  for your quick answer. I'm a bit new to Splunk, so I started straight away with dashboard studio as it's easier. So if there's a work around within dashboard studio, that would be perfect. Otherwise I'll start also looking at classic dashboard and classic SimpleXML. Is it possible to switch in both directions between classic dashboard (xml) and dashboard studio (json) ?

No, unfortunately not. There is a conversion path from Classic to Studio, but even that is not perfect and many advanced features of Classic have no direct equivalents in Studio.

You probably have more scope for doing this sort of thing in Classic SimpleXML dashboards than Studio! (Sorry if that wasn't very helpful.)
