Re: Need to create new dashboard

paragg · ‎05-26-2024

I need to create below dashboard .This will be the main dashboard and from here I can navigate to any of the other mentioned dashboards. AAA, BBB, CCC are the separate dashboards and all these should be accessed form this main dashboard.

Hi @paragg ,

is you main dashboard only a menù or does it contain also panels with data to drildown in the othe dashboards?

in the first case, you have to use HTML tags to create links to the othe dashboards, something like this:

<dashboard version="1.1">
  <label>Home Page</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
       <html>
          <h1>Title Panel 1</h1>
	  <table border="0" cellpadding="10" align="center">
	 <th>
           <tr>
             <td align="center">
               <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard1">
                <img style="width:80px;border:0;" src="/static/app/my_app/image1.png"/>
              </a> 
            </td>
            <td align="center">
              <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard2">
                <img style="width:80px;border:0;" src="/static/app/my_app/image2"/>
              </a> 
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td align="center">
              <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard1">
                Title Dashboard 1
              </a> 
            </td>
            <td align="center">
              <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard2">
                Title Dashboard 2
              </a> 
            </td>
          </tr>
        </th>
      </table>
     </html>
   </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

If instead you have to create a drilldown, please folow the instructions at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Viz/DrilldownIntro

I want to create menu dashboard which contains 3 boxes in a row. If I click on any box it should navigate to my destination dashboard. I don't want any image just need text(other dashboards name) in the box.

Hi @paragg ,

you can use Dashboard Studio (as hinted by @andrew_nelson ) or reduct my solution to only the text boxes:

<dashboard version="1.1">
  <label>Home Page</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
       <html>
          <h1>Title Panel 1</h1>
	  <table border="0" cellpadding="10" align="center">
	 <th>
          <tr>
            <td align="center">
              <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard1">
                Title Dashboard 1
              </a> 
            </td>
            <td align="center">
              <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard2">
                Title Dashboard 2
              </a> 
            </td>
            <td align="center">
              <a href="/app/my_app/dashboard3">
                Title Dashboard 3
              </a> 
            </td>
          </tr>
        </th>
      </table>
     </html>
   </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Ciao.

Build it with Dashboard Studio.
You can add Markdown panels that take whatever text you provide, and then enable the Interaction for Link to Dashboard
