Create a custom dashboard

In addition to the dashboards built in to Splunk UBA, you can create custom dashboards with panels specific to your data and network.

Follow these steps to create a custom dashboard:

  1. From the Splunk UBA navigation menu select Analytics > Custom Dashboards.
  2. Select New Dashboard to give a name to your custom dashboard. For example, Network DeviceThreats.
  3. Select New Widget to add a dashboard panel.
  4. Enter a Widget Name. For example, Threats Count.
  5. Select a Widget Measure. For example, Threats Count to see a count of threats.
  6. Select Next.
  7. Select a widget grouping. For example, Device Types.
  8. Select Next.
  9. Select appropriate filters. For example, select Threat Categories and External to see only external threats.
  10. Check to see how many threats match the filters you select to make sure your widget displays data.
  11. Select Next.
  12. Select a visualization.
    For example, select a Bar Chart because it shows a helpful breakdown of threats by device type. The types of charts available for you to select depends on the data type.
  13. Select OK to save your new panel.
    This screen image shows the custom dashboard that was created by the procedure. The dashboard is titled "Threats Count (5)" and the data is represented by two bars in a horizontal bar chart. The first bar on top is labeled "Unknown" and has a value of 5, and the second bar, located below the first bar, is labeled "Client" and has a value of 4.
