Hello @MHibbin

Thank you for your answer, it helps me a lot.

I have successfully created view and added some sites as you described. The problem still bother me is there a way to mix this iframe with components from dashboard e.g. single value button, I mean on the one raw there is single value button and on the second one there is iframe. And second thing: Is there a way to add url, when someobdy have to domain login or just login to see some site.

@C4r7m4n,

Firstly you should probably add some more XML to your view... I expect that doesn't load at all?

You should look at creating an Advanced XML here.

At a bare minimum will need to include the template for the view. But to make it look/function like other views in Splunk, you should include the "chrome" mentioned in the page I added above.

In you "module" you have not defined a panel to put the iFrame in (this would be panelLayout). The param you have used, "check_exists" is now deprecated.. as per the module reference here.

Finally, I have tried a few different sites in the iFrame, and it looks like you should use a URI (to an exact resource/page) rather than a URL. So for example http://www.google.com/ does not work, but the URI for the Splunk module reference does.

Below is the XML I wrote for testing this...

<view template="dashboard.html">
  <label>My Dashboard</label>
  <module name="AccountBar" layoutPanel="appHeader"/>
  <module name="AppBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/>
  <module name="Message" layoutPanel="messaging">
    <param name="filter">*</param>
    <param name="clearOnJobDispatch">False</param>
    <param name="maxSize">1</param>
  </module>
  <module name="IFrameInclude" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
    <param name="src"><![CDATA[http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3.1/Developer/ModuleReference#IFrameInclude]]></param>
    <param name="height">402</param>
  </module>
</view>

Hope this helps answer your question.. if it does can you mark the answer as accepted to help Splunkbase know if it needs more attention/is useful.

Hello @MHibbin,

So i created new dashboard, removed:

\?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?\
     \dashboard>
           \label>iframe</label>
     \/dashboard>

and added this code:

\?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?\
\view
\module name="IFrameInclude"
\param name="src">google.com\/param
\param name="check_exists">True\/param
\module\
\view\

to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/data/ui/views/iframe.xml
from http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Developer/UseHTML#Add_an_IFrame

And now what ? 😉 Nothing happened. The google first site didn't appear in my dashboard.

It will probably help if you add in the XML you tried, and then Splunkbase users can help see if it just a error in the syntax, you may be almost there - so no need to nessecarily repeat the steps already written out in the docs.
