Hi,

I need to get pictures into the dashboard based on key value (id in the URL below) which differs for each case. The picture is located on server having the following kind of URL

http://server.abc.com/script.py/get_image?id=123456789&png=on

The problem is that Splunk dashboard XML doesn't allow to use the "&" sign. I've converted it to %26. Now the problem is that the server (server.abc.com) doesn't understand the converted version of &

Has someone solution for this?

Thank you very much in advance
