How to upload files to Splunk server to use in dashboard source xml code?

Hi there,

I have about 20 dashboards with many common features and code fragments. They are have the same checkboxes, and so on... how can I upload some files to Splunk, so that I can extract these repeated bits of code and store them in a file and just call that file in all the dashboards and only code the unique parts of that dashboard in its source xml code? 

Thanks,

You can create pre-built panels which you can then add to your dashboards.

Could you please elaborate on that? just to be clear, I want to save my "fieldset" in a file and just include the path in my XML source, just so the XML source is not a massive file. Is this possible?

That's not possible in the way you are describing (afaik)

You should be able to club them in to a app and then export that app with all dashboards. else you will have to check which app the dashboards are in and then export them from backend.

Sorry I am not sure if I follow. Is that really required? is there no simple way to upload a file to splunk and simply "call/include" the content of it in the source?
