What’s New in Dashboard Studio in Splunk Enterprise 10.0

Starting in Splunk Enterprise 10.0, you will be able to share Studio dashboards without requiring a log in to Splunk – the top requested dashboard feature on Splunk Ideas! Now you can easily share data visualizations with your executives, business analysts, and other colleagues who don't have access to Splunk. When you publish a dashboard, you can specify the interval at which you want the dashboard to refresh with new data and when you want the published link to expire.

Customers with Splunk Observability Cloud will be able to view their metrics in Dashboard Studio in a single pane of glass. There are three ways to add metrics to your dashboard: browse metrics from within your dashboard and apply analytics, import a chart, or import a pre-built navigator. You can also add Splunk Observability Cloud service maps to your Splunk Dashboard Studio dashboard.

For more interactive dashboards, we've introduced a new button component for end users to interact with. In addition to the existing interaction options, you can also configure your button to reset tokens to default values, effectively resetting the dashboard to its initial state.

Trellis layout support has been expanded to more visualizations. Now, in addition to single value visualizations, you can apply trellis layout to area, line, bar, and column charts.

Other notable features included in Splunk Enterprise 10.0 are:

• The option to hide visualization action menu when viewing a dashboard
• Maps improvements: UI to dynamically color marker and bubble maps and automatic zooming and centering of the map based on the data displayed
• The ability to view token values in source mode

The biggest change to Dashboard Studio in Splunk Enterprise 9.4 is the introduction of tabs for dashboards.

• The ability to collapse the Splunk and app bars while viewing a dashboard
• Optimized rendering for data-dense time series charts,
