View dashboards on a mobile device

View and share dashboards on a mobile device for quick access to data analysis without searching through a list of dashboards. Web-to-mobile sharing takes you straight to the dashboard you want to view on your mobile device.

Some functionalities, such as drilldowns and custom code, are not supported in mobile dashboards.

Prerequisites

Web-to-mobile sharing relies on the following:

• Download the Splunk Mobile app
  • For more information about the Splunk Mobile app, see How to set up a Splunk Mobile app in Splunk Lantern.
• Activate the Splunk Secure Gateway (SSG) app
  • The SSG app comes default enabled with the Splunk platform.
  • For more about the SSG app, see About Splunk Secure Gateway in the Administer Splunk Secure Gateway manual.
• Enable JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
  • For more details, see Enable token authentication for a Splunk Platform instance in the Securing Splunk Cloud Platform manual.
