Hi Everyone,
I was reading through this article that led me to believe it`s possible to display external web content in Splunk, however it doesn`t appear to be working for me.
Interestingly, it works fine outside of Splunk (ie: if I save the source as an HTML file locally on my computer), but it doesn`t display the iframe if I put it in a Splunk dashboard.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Source code below.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<dashboard version="1.1">
<label>My iFrame Dashboard</label>
<row>
<html>
<h2>Embedded Web Page!</h2>
<iframe src="https://myValidDomainName" width="100%" height="300">></iframe>
</html>
</row>
</dashboard>

You need to explicitly enable iframes and other embedded content in Splunk's web.conf settings.
[settings]
dashboard_html_allow_embeddable_content = true
Read more here. It's worth pointing out that enabling embedded content could impose a security risk so please consider this before you make any changes.

Hi Just curious - what are the security implications to think about enabling this.
If used in conjunction with the trusted domain list in web-features.conf - we should be secure?
Or is there something else?
