Summary

In this chapter, we covered some basic aspects of dashboards and view creation. Making sure you know your data is paramount for successful execution in data visualization. Splunk helps you discover your data, but you need to understand your data to display it properly. Not all data types and results fit into all chart types.

We also covered creating a SimpleXML dashboard and then converting that dashboard into a form. SimpleXML dashboards give you ease of creation and allow you to manipulate them within the web interface. This is an excellent option for quick displays of data, without diving too deep into the code. We also briefly introduced HTML dashboards. There are several advantages of HTML dashboards, especially the added benefits of using the entire HTML, CSS, and JavaScript stacks.

In our next chapter, we will start the joys of HTML dashboarding and see how to use the SplunkJS Stack effectively.
