Step 2: Add rows

Step 2: Add rows

Dashboards contain rows. Each row can contain up to three panels. Each panel typically contains a single search and displays a visualization of that search. However, you can group two or more panel visualizations into a single column within a row.

This step shows how to add rows and also how to add rows that contain panel groups. "Step 3: Add Panels" shows how to add panels to the rows.

Add rows to a dashboard

Add two rows to a dashboard using the <row> tag. Rows can accommodate up to three panels. 

<dashboard>
    <label>My dashboard</label>
    <row>
     . . .
    <!-- Up to three panels -->
     . . .
    </row>
    <row>
     . . .
    <!-- Up to three panels -->
     . . .
    </row>
</dashboard>

Create a panel group for a row

Group panels together within a row by adding a grouping attribute to the <row> tag. The following example groups two panels into a single column: 

<dashboard>
    <label>My dashboard</label>
    <row grouping="2">
    . . .
    <!--The two panels to be grouped-->
    . . .
    </row>
</dashboard>

You can group panels into columns on the left or right sides within a single row. The following example creates a single row of panels, separated into two columns, with 3 panels grouped in the left column and 2 panels grouped in the right column: 

<dashboard>
    <label>My dashboard</label>
    <row grouping="3,2">
    . . .
    <!-- The five panels to be grouped into two columns-->
    . . .
    </row>
</dashboard>
Note: Panel groups affect the Splunk Dashboard Editor. The Dashboard Editor cannot add or edit panels for a dashboard containing grouped panels. All additional edits must be done in the underlying XML code.
