  • Open the Diagnostics app in Splunk
  • Go to User-defined dashboard > Dashboards
  • Click ‘Create New Dashboard’
  • Fill in any title, this will get overridden when pasting the XML
  • For ID, put in the name of the XML file (without the .xml extension)
  • Select ‘Shared in App’ and press ‘Create Dashboard’
  • You are in Edit mode now, press ‘Source’
  • Now remove the current source and copy-paste the contents of the XML file
  • Press ‘Save’
  • The dashboard will now show up under User-defined dashboards

  2. Unzip
  3. Drop in the integration product
  4. Load dashboard in Splunk

  • If applicable (GSS, Job Server, Client image) the tracking code is loaded during build by the integration mechanism of Diagnostics (and ONLY when applicable!)
  • When the tracker is running the code, the data is automatically added to the dashboard
