Add text, links, and images with Markdown
You can add text, links, and images to your dashboard using standard Markdown formatting. This feature is available for the grid and absolute layout. To add Markdown, click the Add Markdown button () in the editing toolbar using the visual editor.
Configuration panel options for Markdown
You can use the Configuration panel to configure the following Markdown components.
Position & Size
You can use either your mouse to change the size or location of the visualization, or the Position & Size section of the Configuration panel for pixel perfect sizing and placement.
Markdown settings
Edit Markdown using the following buttons provided in visual editor:
- Insert code (
)
- The code will format differently for a single line of code versus a multiple-line code block. A single line of code will format with a grey background that extends to the last bit of code. A large code block will have syntax highlighting, and the grey background extends to the edge of the markdown panel.
You can also include standard Markdown formatting beyond what is provided in the visual editor. Splunk Dashboard Studio supports all basic Markdown formatting options, except HTML. See "Basic Syntax" on the Markdown Guide website. Select Preview to view the text as it will appear in the dashboard. Select Write to continue editing. Make sure to Save your changes.
