Use box plot at splunk not install app from file

[Questioner]

I want to make box-plot graph using my data.

I try to find a solution, but it need to install app from file at splunk.

So it couldn't apply at my Apps. (Because "my Apps" and "install app" is different)

Is there any way to draw box-plot at my own Apps not using "install app form file" ?

Hi @Questioner,

let me understand: you want to use a special graph using a viz from another app that you should install in your Splunk, is this correct?

At first what's ths app? does it come from splunkbase?

if yes it isn't a problem, many Splunk apps (also ES) use external apps for special visualizations (e.g timeline).

Second If you want a viz you have to install also this app in your Splunk and use it in your own custom app.

Hi @gcusello 

Yes! That's what I was curious about. 
I use this app -> Analysis Of SplunkBase Apps for Splunk | Splunkbase
Then Would you like to let me know how can i install the <viz> in my app?

When I try to use <viz> in my Splunk app,
It shows the error,

"Could not add a custom visulization as "display.visualization.custom.type" is missing in ui-prefs.conf.

Hi @Questioner,

is it a problem to install this app in your environment?

you could also install it in no visible way.

Hi @Questioner,

you can install this app in your Search Heads eventually in no visible mode.

One additional inforation: tis app lista the apps in Splunkbase, it doesn't give you a viz?

what's your requirement?

Anyway, if you want tooltips, you could copy the following files:

• tooltip.js,tabs.js,
• custom_table_icons_inline.js
• tooltip.css,
• alt.css,tabs.css;

from the appserver/static folder of this app in your app's appserver/static folder and add this line as the first line of your dashboard:

<form script="tooltip.js,tabs.js,custom_table_icons_inline.js" stylesheet="tooltip.css,alt.css,tabs.css" version="1.1">

So you can use these js and css without installin this app.

Ciao.

Hi! @gcusello 

Maybe some requirements are missing from the requirements...I think.

I'll try to do that.

Thank you for your help!

Hi @Questioner,

if you want the tooltips that are in that app, you can use js and css copying them from that app in your app and adding the header line, obviousl remember to restart Splunk on the SH.

let me know if I can help you more, or, please, accept one answer for the other people of Community.

Ciao and happy splunking
