Solved: Panel to show a web page... like google.com

jcrane · ‎02-12-2013

What I am trying to do is show a public web-site in a panel next to my search data on a dashboard, imagine it as google for example. Does anyone have an example doing this? Or Can someone point me to the right docs?

I can see that we can index data from a URL or we can set links in a panel but I have not been able to find documentation to set a panel to be the contents of a URL. I am certain I am just missing it.

Thanks,

There's the IFrameInclude module in core Splunk UI. There might be some examples of that in the Dashboard Examples app on Splunkbase.

And if you have Sideview Utils installed then you can use its HTML module to create your own tag, and incorporate selected values from other form elements and field values from search results. &amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;In both cases, making the iframe actually match the internal dimensions of the rounder-corner panel on your dashboard, might end up being the harder problem. &amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;If you&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;re partial to the Sideview Utils approach, there&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s a simple example in the form of the FreshMaker - &amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;/en-US/app/sideview_utils/refresh_entities&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;. When you pick a value from the Pulldown, it reloads the iframe and sends it to a dynamic URL. Picture that same example but as a fully qualified external URL.&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;
