Create and use geofences with Splunk AR

Associate non-AR dashboards with a GPS-defined location using Splunk AR. Splunk AR presents these dashboards to users when they're located within the GPS-defined location.

See About geofences with Splunk AR to learn more about geofences.

Geofences and associated dashboards are shared among Splunk AR users using the same Splunk Enterprise deployment.

Prerequisites

Before creating a geofence and associating dashboards to the geofenced area, make sure the following requirements are complete:

• Install Splunk Cloud Gateway on your Splunk Enterprise search head.
• Enable Splunk AR in the Configure tab of Splunk Cloud Gateway.
• You have the appropriate user permissions.
• Register your device.
• Have saved compatible dashboards on Splunk Enterprise. For more information on creating dashboards, see Create dashboards and panels.
  See Visualization support in the Splunk Cloud Gateway Release Notes manual for information about supported visualizations and configurations.
