Solved: Is it possible to do an auto-redirect in Splunk?

jiaqya · ‎02-05-2019

I have a Splunk page with a link on it that will take you to another page.
But users have to click on it to go to that other page (the reason for this is that current page is being shutdown, and the redirect link will take them to the new page; this is for users who have saved the link as favorites).

Now, is it possible to auto-redirect the page to that click without users having to click on it, in say, 'n' number of seconds?

Any options of doing it ?

Hi,

One way is to convert the dashboard to a HTML dashboard (click the top right) and then add code like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Old Dashboard name here</title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
      window.location.replace("/en-US/search/my_new_dashboard");
    //]]>
  </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

I hope this is helpful

This is wonderful. Can you also tell me how to setup a timer of 5-10 seconds so users can also read a message that they are being re-directed to another page..

<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en">
 <head>
   <title>Old Dashboard name here</title>
   <script type="text/javascript">
     //<![CDATA[
setTimeout(function(){
       window.location.replace("/en-US/search/my_new_dashboard");
},5000);
     //]]>
   </script>
 </head>
 <body>
 </body>
 </html>

That should do it
