generated view xml file differ from documentation

[urirosenberg]

Hi,
I created a view (consists of a report and a graph).
the resulting xml file is as follows:

test dashboard


testsave

10
true

<chart>
  <searchName>Messages by minute last 3 hours</searchName>
  <title>graph</title>
  <option name="charting.chart">column</option>
  <option name="count">10</option>
  <option name="displayRowNumbers">true</option>
</chart>

I am following your instructions for embedding a dashboard (http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.1/AdvancedDev/3rdParty).
the xml file is completely different: no modules or parameters...
I am trying to embed the dashboard alone (without the splunck headers).
How should I modify the xml?
Thanks!

Splunk has two "modes" of XML - simple and advanced XML. What you've pasted is simple XML, which is what is generated by default for simple forms and dashboards. For more advanced purposes you really want to use advanced XML. More information on that here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0/AdvancedDev/AdvancedIntro

Simple XML is translated to advanced XML automatically by Splunk - to get the equivalent advanced XML code for your view, add ?showsource=1 to the end of the URL for your view.
