Interaction Button in Splunk Dashboard Studio available?

Hi there,

I just searched for a similar function of the "input=button" known in the Classic XML Dashboard within the Dashboard Studio docs and stumbled over the page "https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.4.1/DashStudio/inputButton".

This is not documented any further, in the visual editor this input is not available and the source code editor gives me an error if I try to setup something up like "type=input.button" - which I guessed due to no further documentation of this input.

Is this a future feature of the Dashboard Studio or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

Edgar

Hello @EdgarF,

The link you have shared ends up in 404. I assume that's because Splunk might have intended to release it earlier, but it seems to have been pushed back. Currently, there's no option such as custom button. However, you can work with icons as custom buttons and use drilldown links for interaction if it satisfies your use case.

Thanks,
Tejas.
