Solved: Re: Is it possible to display an external web page...

Hi guys I am new to splunk

I am wondering is it possible to display external web page like "www.google.com" in splunk like a html iframe?

I tried html iframe:
iframe src="google.com"

But it gave me an error message - "Splunk cannot find the "google.com" view."

How do I change the link search to external web page

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is possible. You need to add it within a row of the dashboard, and include HTML tags. Here's an example:

  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<dashboard>
  <label>My Google Dashboard</label>
  <row>
    <html>
    <h2>Embedded Web Page!</h2>
       <iframe src="http://www.google.com" width="100%" height="300">&gt;</iframe>
    </html>
  </row>
  </dashboard>

If you are good in html and javascript,

Create your own HTML with a drop down and an iFrame
Add a onchange event listener javascript method to that dropdown
Based on the value of the dropdown change the src attribute of that iframe(with your dashboards URL)
Now attache you a html page to any dashboard using the IFramInclude module (http://localhost:8000/en-US/modules#Splunk.Module.IFrameInclude)

Hope this helps you

You need to specify the protocol too (e.g. "http://google.com"). Here is a working example:

<dashboard>
  <label>test_iframe</label>
  <row>
    <panel>

          <iframe src="http://textcritical.com"/>

    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

That said, your browser will likely access due to Google from an iframe because Google sets the X-Frame-Options header such that it prevents browsers from displaying google.com in a iframe (thats why I used a different domain in the example).

It works. Better use a localhost:8000 to host index.html than Google. It complains security issue.

Is it possible to display an external web page in Splunk like a html iframe?
