Export and share charts in Splunk Observability Cloud 🔗
Splunk Observability Cloud provides a number of ways to export and share a chart. The technique to use depends on several factors, such as the version you want to share, last saved version or version you are viewing that has unsaved changes, and whether you want to share the original or a copy.
For line charts, area charts, column charts, and SLI charts, you can export the chart contents to a CSV file. The file contains the most recent 100 data points and the values of the dimensions associated with them.
To export a chart from the Chart Builder view, open the Data table tab, then select Export as CSV download icon in the table headers row on the last column.
To export a chart from the dashboard view, select the chart actions menu (⋯) and select Export chart as CSV.
Note
You can only export SLI charts from the dashboard view.
The techniques available for sharing a chart depend on where you are viewing the chart. The following sections describe the various ways to share a chart.

Caution
Provide a browser’s URL for a chart with caution; any changes someone makes to the chart are visible to everyone viewing the chart, and can overwrite changes others have made to the chart.
You can share a copy of a chart. Copies include unsaved changes at the time you share, and autoexpire unless the recipient saves them. Sharing a copy is perfect for when you make a change that you want to show your team members, but don’t want to modify the original chart.
To share a chart you are viewing in the Chart Builder, select the Share icon near the upper right corner of the chart or select Share from the chart actions menu (⋯).
To share a chart you are viewing in a dashboard, select Share from the chart actions menu (⋯). See the following sections for more information.
Share a copy directly from Splunk Observability Cloud 🔗
After adding recipients, select Share. Recipients receive a link to the copy. When they open it, they can edit and save their copy without affecting the original.
Caution
Administrators can add email addresses of people who aren’t members of your organization. Recipients must create a user account before they can view the shared content. Be sure the email addresses you enter for nonmembers are correct, especially if the item you are sharing contains any sensitive or proprietary information.
You might want to send out a personal email or post a link to the copy on an internal communication channel or website. To do this, select Copy. Only members of your organization with a login can see the chart you share.
You can give someone access to a chart by pasting the chart’s URL into a Slack channel. Slack displays a preview image of the chart along with the URL. You can paste a URL that was generated by using the Share feature or by copying the chart’s URL, as described in Share a chart.
