Sharing a dashboard without requiring a splunk account

[atreece]

I am working on a dashboard, and I need to be able to show it to my coworkers.
I was hoping to be able to just have an alert send out a link to the dashboard whenever a certain event happens (specifically, status_code_test=FALIED), but the problem is that they don't have a splunk account.

Looking around, embedding the dashboard into a webpage seems like the best solution, but that appears to require editing the config files. I am using only splunkweb, and have never downloaded any files for splunk, so I don't believe I have access to config files.

Any suggestions?

P.S. The insecure risks of embedding the dashboard aren't a problem.

EDIT: Thank you for your answers! However, I have recently learned that I do have access to the config files, so I am able to enable insecure_login in the web.conf file. From there, it's a simple matter of editing HTML and XML, if I've understood the process correctly.

Splunk 6.1 includes a new embedded reports feature! See Embed scheduled reports in the Reporting Manual for details.

Hi atreece. Did you get what you needed working? I am also trying to figure out what the html/xml edits are required and the docs are not that helpful. Chris

You could add your unauthenticated co workers to the email distribution list for the alert and attach a generated PDF with the results that triggered the alert.

Odd, the link to the Embed scheduled reports topic was valid, yet wouldn't resolve. I pasted it back in and saved again. It works now for me. The current version of the topic is here:

Even embedding the dashboard would require credentials to access splunkweb in the first place.
How about something slightly more round-about like a search command or script that outputs the results to a dynamically generated HTML page which you people could then access?

I have learned that I actually do have access to the config files, so I should be able to embed regularly now.
Even so, could you give an example of your method? I am very interested in how this method would work.
