Recreating dashboards to simple XML from Advanced. Dashboards 7.X

[snallam123]

Hello all,

We had a couple of dashboards that are very old and they are not accessible after the recent upgrade to 7.04. Is there any way i could use them without recreating them?

Thanks for any help...

Hi,

are the dashboards using advanced XML? If that is the issue please see this:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.4/AdvancedDev/Whatsinthismanual#Advanced_XML_Depreca...

How many dashboards are not working? "A couple" should be an easily build new. You have the core knowledge at hand: the spl search.

Hope that helps,
Björn

There are so many dashboards to rebuild, And old dashboards are using advanced XML. So i think i need to build now by simple XML as Advanced XML is deprecated from 6.3. But let me know if there is any other way to skip this.
Thanks a lot for guiding me. @bjoernjensen
