Adding key indicator search to custom dashboard in Splunk Enterprise Security

Hello,

I'm trying to add new/existing key indicator searches to my dashboard in ES, but the edit toolbar does not have the "Add Key Indicator" button.

My custom dashboard:

My custom dashboardMy custom dashboard

Default dashboard with Key Indicators:

Default dashboard with Key IndicatorDefault dashboard with Key Indicator

I also tried to clone the default "Email Activity" dashboard (which has existing key indicators in it), but the clone dashboard cannot be loaded.

What should I do?

If this is a bug, which log files do I need to check?

 

Thank you.

This is a little late, but I was interested in doing the same thing as OP. Looking at ES dashabord source it looks like key indicators visualization is custom. Make me question using it in my own dashboard. Is that a good idea?
