Dashboard reference for the Content Pack for Amazon Web Services Dashboards and Reports
The Content Pack for Amazon Web Services Dashboards and Reports offers a variety of dashboards to give you insight into your AWS data. Each dashboard is powered by data collected from your AWS environment using one or more input types configured in the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services. And as you navigate between dashboards your filter selections for Account ID and region are retained.
You can configure each dashboard included in the content pack. Refer to the following tables for the configurable input types by available dashboard.
