How do I create an entity dashboard for my entity type?

Hello,

I am working on the back of this question from 2021 that has no answer.

I have created a new custom entity type with one vital metric and I can see the information in the Infrastructure Overview dashboard with no issues for the entities of that type.  When I select a single entity and drill down I do not seem to have an entity dashboard associated as with the OOTB entity types.

What are the steps to create an entity dashboard for a specific entity type so that I can see metric data trend when I drill down to a single entity?

Thank you!

Andrew

Under the splunk dashboard drop-down, choose the dashboard which you want to drill down to and under Entity Parameter, click on add entity filter, select your entity field and pass the token as form.” Your token-name” Save this and give a try
