I  am a developer and I have crated a  splunk dashboard using simpleXML. 
The entire code must be saved in the backened in some .conf file is what I believe.
Can anyone guide me where can I find it / the folder path ( like opt/etc/user/ ......??????? )

On the same question, I too would like to know the location where my Scheduled Reports, Alerts, Macros etc..are stored.

Thank you.

See https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/manageknowledge/#How-configuration-settings-are-s... for a primer.

Dashboards, a.k.a "views", are not stored in .conf files.  They're in .xml files in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app>/local/data/ui/views or $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/<user>/<app>/local/data/ui/views.
