Dear Community, I need help with the creation of a dashboard where:

  • I have 1 row
  • I have 3 panels
  • I want 2 panels stacked on top of each other on the left
  • I want 1 panel in full height on the right

I have searched different topics on the community but most of those only provide results without context and when I don't get them to work, I don't know what to do. This is what I managed to create so far:

Splunk_dashboard_stack2left_1right.png

Using the following sourcecode:

<dashboard>
  <label>Stack 2 left, 1 right</label>
  <row>
    <panel id="topleft">
      <title></title>
      <html>
        <style>
          #topleft{
            width:15% !important;
            float: left;
          }
          
          #bottomleft{
            width:15% !important;
            clear: left;
            float: left;
          }
          
          #right{
            width:85% !important;
            overflow: hidden;
          }
        </style>
      </html>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>SomeQueryThatReturnsNothing</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel id="bottomleft">
      <title></title>
      <chart>
        <search>
          <query>SomeQueryThatReturnsNothing</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </chart>
    </panel>
    <panel id="right">
      <title></title>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>SomeQueryThatReturnsNothing</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

 

What I would like to achieve is:

  • The panel with id="right" to be full height so that I have 2 small panels stacked on each other on the left and one big panel on the right that fully populates the screen

I have tried playing with height but it doesn't seem to affect the panel in any way.

Could anyone help me out with this issue?

Thanks in advance.

@Bleepie I had the same question and found the answer to this in another post.  You might want to check this out if you haven't solved for this already.

What you are trying to do is not possible with Simple XML.  The new dashboard framework allows for a more flexible layout, but may not have the other features your dashboard needs (yet).
