Digging through the docs I see how to use advanced xml and the timeline module to get a simple timeline of my search results onto a dashboard view.
However, the most recent documentation seems to imply that simple xml and the web framework methods should be used whenever possible instead of advanced xml.
QUESTION: Is there an alternative to advanced xml to include a timeline in a view?
Thanks.
The default way would be to build the view using the Splunk Web Framework: http://dev.splunk.com/view/web-framework/SP-CAAAER6
See the related app for examples: http://apps.splunk.com/app/1613/
Once installed, switch to the examples app and select Web Framework Components -> Search Manager Controls for search bars, timeline views, and related stuff.
Here's an excerpt from that example:
var TimelineView = require("splunkjs/mvc/timelineview");
new TimelineView({
id: "example-timeline",
managerid: "example-timeline-search",
el: $("#divToHangOn2")
}).render();
That'll render a time line for the search manager called example-timeline-search
into the div tag with the id divToHangOn2
.

Very concise and helpful, thank you!
