Why am I receiving 500 internal server error switching dashboard to advanced xml to add Google Maps?
I'm trying to switch to advanced XML view so I can add Google Maps to one of my dashboards.
When I use this link: localhost:8000/en-US/app/search/syndication?showsource=advanced
I then receive the following error:
500 Internal Server Error
Return to Splunk home page
NotImplementedError: Cannot find object mapper for panel type: panel

Can you not use the Splunk integrated maps for your use case?

This is, to a certain extent, expected behavior.
As of Splunk 6.0, Simple XML migrated off of the module system, adopting the SplunkJS stack as the basis for the underlying rendering engine. As such, when requesting a "?showsource" of a simple xml dashboard, this would return the translated html source within splunkjs components.
Given this divergence in underlying technologies, the challenge came with users that wanted to convert their dashboard to advanced xml. The provided path "?showsource=advanced" was purely a best effort conversion to advanced xml based on the translation layer available from Splunk 5.0. As more features were added to Simple XML post 6.0, resulting in syntax updates that were not recognized by advanced xml, this would break the best effort translation to advanced xml. And now finally in Splunk 6.1 with the introduction of panels as explicit layout containers, we fundamentally are no longer able to provide even a best effort.
As a short term solution, you can go ahead and manually remove the panel containers from your simple xml source, and then try again.
With every release, we are continuing to make dashboard development easier and more powerful, with key investments in Simple XML and viz editor itself. On this note, please share with us the use cases that you are trying to build using advanced xml for potential inclusion and support in Simple XML. Thanks!

I've created a dashboard to show basic information from our web servers. We are currently using the Splunk integrated map to show the locations of our site visitors but we'd rather use the Google maps app on this dashboard as it looks a lot better and shows more information.
The end goal here is to be able to include Google maps on our "web" dashboard.

It seems it's way to big to paste in.
