Background image can be only moved if you have access to CLI

Hi, Check the path of the image in the dashboard XML, eg- /static/app/abcd/images/abc.png , Go to your CLI and inside the search head app directory get the image out and put it on the same server where you wanted to move the image file.

 

One more way is to find the name of the image from XML and login to the CLI and run"locate <image Nmae>" it will show the image location where it's available, you can use WinSCP to move the image from cli to your local pc and put where ever you want. Please accept the answer if you find this helpful.

There are several ways of doing it,

1. Edit your Dashboard go to Source copy your XML file and then go to the server where you wanted to put the dashboard in, go to search, search anything like index=_internal save it as dashboard and then edit the new dashboard and go to the source of the new dashboard and paste the XML.

2. If You have CLI access, go to the app in search head where the dashboard is part of and go to views then find your view/Dashboard name and copy it to the same location where you wanted to create the dashboard.

 

Hope you want to print the dashboard from one search head to another, if not if you want to print it to any other application use API call.

Hi @human96 

Yes it will not move the background image you need to place the image at the similar location in the production environment  in whichever app you created the dashboard place the image in the /app/static in the prod environment  and the dashboard might be able to access it
