As Ansif told, please download https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/507/

To install apps and add-ons directly into Splunk Enterprise
Put the downloaded file in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps directory.
Untar and ungzip your app or add-on, using a tool like tar -xvf (on *nix) or WinZip (on Windows).
Restart Splunk.

then ping the IP and include the result to dashboard
