Html output in splunk dashboard

balash1979 · ‎09-05-2019

In my splunk dashboard, I want to call a webpage and display the output of the webpage in my dashboard.
When I go to the link, it displays a long text and I want to see the text in the dashboard. how can I accomplish this ?

@balash1979 ,

Try using iframe

   <dashboard>
       <label>URLs in Iframe</label>
       <row>
         <html>

           <body>
             <iframe src="URL of your webpage" width="100%" height="300">
             </iframe>
           </body>
         </html>
       </row>
     </dashboard>

From the browser, i am our hitting api. If the put the same url in splunk under the iframe src link, i get "refused to connect". Do i have to do anything special in the code above ?

Most probably the URL you are trying to connect does not accept a connection from iFrame

If it's owned by you, then probably you can adjust the settings and if not, you might need to index the data from API and visualize it
