Building Advanced Dashboards - Implementing Splunk: Big Data Reporting and Development for Operational Intelligence - page 222

Other things to notice in this dashboard are:
• grp builds columns inside a single panel, for instance, in
layoutPanel="panel_row4_col1_grp2"
• SingleValue modules do not stack vertically, but rather flow horizontally,
overflowing onto the next line when the window width is reached
• span used in the bucket statement is the minimum needed by any
post-process statements, but as large as possible to minimize the number
of events returned
Third-party add-ons
There are many excellent apps available at http://splunkbase.com , a number
of which provide custom modules. We will cover two of the most popular, Google
Maps and Sideview Utils .
Google Maps
As we saw in Chapter 7 , Working with Apps , the Google Maps app provides a
dashboard and lookup for drawing results on a map. The underlying module
is also available to use in your own dashboards.
Here is a very simple dashboard that uses the GoogleMaps module:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<view template="search.html">
<!-- chrome -->
<label>Chapter 8 - Google Maps Search</label>

<module name="AppBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/>
<module name="Message" layoutPanel="messaging">

<param name="clearOnJobDispatch">False</param>
<param name="maxSize">1</param>
</module>
<!-- search -->
<module name="SearchBar" layoutPanel="splSearchControls-inline">
