This Java program add-on takes a properly formatted CSV file that contains the minimum information to generate a timechart panel in a dashboard and generates a complete Splunk Simple XML dashboard. Its main use is to rapidly prototype the comparison of various values on the same screen so that these reports can be generated for a quick comparison of values of data over time. An example input CSV file is in the lookups directory for this add-on. It is hoped that you will write your own input CSV file.
