Is there any way that we can add comments to the dashboard panel to give more information for easy understanding?
Hi Splunkers,
Is there any way that we can add comments to the dashboard panel to give more information for easy understanding. For example: If there’s any jump in the trend from previous month to this month. I need to put a comment box and explain why the jump happened.
TIA

In SimpleXML, you could have a html panel with your comment. You could then make this panel depends on the existence of a token. You could then set or unset this token depending on a result from your dashboard panel search

I'm not sure where you want that comment. SimpleXML, as XML allows for a comment with a normal <!-- something -->
Dashboard studio source however is a json file and json has no concept of a comment so unless there is no explicitly defined comment property (and I think I recall some discussion with a conclusion that there isn't), you can't insert it there.
