I am trying to embed a YouTube (an YouTube?) video iframe in a Splunk dashboard. I either get nasty errors when I save or I get a completely blank view. Any simple examples?

Give this a try. It appears Splunk does not support the allowfullscreen tag provided by default in the You Tube link. You need to give it a value.

Not supported by Splunk
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tAGnKpE4NCI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

My modification seems to work.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tAGnKpE4NCI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="0" ></iframe>

Note: You can remove the allowfullscreen tag all together. That is up to you.

Here is an example dashboard. All I did was create a basic Simple XML dashboard. Created a row and inserted the HTML tag and iframe. Please enjoy the music from one of my favorite bands. 🙂

<form>
  <label>Iframe Imbed</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
    <input type="time" token="token_time">
      <label>Select Time</label>
      <default>
        <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>  
    <html>
      <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tAGnKpE4NCI" frameborder="0"  allowfullscreen="0" > </iframe>  
    </html>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>Top Sourcetype</title>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal | top sourcetype</query>
          <earliest>$token_time.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$token_time.latest$</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="count">10</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

Hi @sjaworski,

Found your post while trying to embed a news feed within a Splunk dashboard. Your code almost works after I modified web.conf to allow the embedded iframe, but I get a black screen.

Don't suppose you know what needs to be updated to make it work on Splunk 8.0.4.1 please?

 

Cheers,

 

Russell
