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:

• Register your device to a Splunk Platform instance that has Splunk Secure Gateway and the Splunk App for AR installed. See Register your mobile device to a Splunk instance.
• Have the right Splunk AR user permissions Configure Splunk AR roles and permissions.
• Have saved compatible dashboards on your Splunk platform instance. See Visualization support in the Splunk Secure Gateway Release Notes manual for information about supported visualizations and configurations.
