Stream Informational Dashboards

Splunk App for Stream (splunk_app_stream) provides a set of built-in informational dashboards, which give you a quick overview of activities taking place across your network. Informational dashboards include:

Informational dashboards are populated by a set of built-in streams that come with the app. You can clone built-in streams and use them as a starting point to create your own new streams in the Configure Streams UI. For more information, see Configure Streams in this manual.

Impact of new aggregation methods on dashboards

As of version 6.6.0, the Database Activity dashboard and built-in Splunk database streams (such as Splunk_Mysql, Splunk_Postgres, and so on) have been updated to use the max(time_taken) aggregate function to generate max query time statistics. As a result, the Database Activity dashboard in version 6.6.0 and later is not compatible with data generated by earlier versions of streamfwd.

All other dashboards have been updated for the new aggregation methods introduced in version 6.6.0 and are compatible with data generated by both old and new versions of streamfwd. For more information, see Stream aggregation methods in this manual.
