How to embed an image in a dashboard?

hemendralodhi · ‎11-28-2016

Hello All,

I am trying to embed image in a user manual dashboard and tried various methods from this forum, but the is image is not loading. I have copied the image in ../apps/myapp/appserver/static directory.

I am trying to show the image like below:

Complete code in html tag

<p>1. Go to Development Kit tab and Click Dashboard <img src="/static/app/myapp/select_dashboard.PNG" alt="Test Image"> &lt;br/&gt;

........so on

Tried Splunk Web Prefix and various other methods, but not sure now where to look.

Thanks
Hemendra

If your app name is myapp then following should be your image attribute in dashboard HTML panel

<img src="/static/app/myapp/imagefilename.png" />

Refer to Image Overlay with Single Values example on the Splunk 6.x Dashboard Examples app.

Adding a static file requires Splunk restart and also refresh of browser's history from cache.

Hello niketnilay,

Thanks for your response. I am using the same string and copied image to required ../appserver/static folder but it is showing text only and not image.

Here is the snippet I am using:

Did you try

   <html><img src="/static/..."/></html>

Like shown here?: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#html

What version of splunk do you have?

Hello jkat54,

Thanks for your response. I am using v6.4.1. Details of snippet above.

html tag is used at start and end of the whole html file. I tried using additional on for img src also but same result.
