Manage and update dashboards

Admins need to manage dashboards that require updates to work with jQuery 3.5. As an administrator of Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise deployments, you might need to adjust or rebuild dashboards that are affected by this security update. Use the following chart to learn how to update your different dashboards.

Type of dashboard	Method to update
Simple XML dashboard without custom JavaScript	Dashboards without custom JavaScript are not likely to experience errors as a result of the upgrade to jQuery 3.5. Likely no action is needed.
Simple XML dashboard with custom JavaScript	Update the dashboard to rely on jQuery 3.5 only. For more information about updating dashboards, see Manage dashboards that need jQuery updates in the Splunk Cloud Platform Dashboards and Visualizations manual.
HTML dashboard	HTML dashboards are deprecated. Rebuild them in Dashboard Studio. For more information about Dashboard Studio, see What is the Splunk Dashboard Studio? in the Splunk Dashboard Studio manual.

Beginning with Splunk Cloud Platform 8.1.2103 and Splunk Enterprise version 8.2.0 and later, you can update your dashboards with custom Javascript to use jQuery 3.5. You can also work on rebuilding your HTML dashboards in Dashboard Studio.
