Prevent Dashboard Source XML from being Displayed on Front End

[bruceclarke]

I've noticed that some of my dynamic dashboards are displaying the source XML directly on the front end. The dashboard works exactly as I expect it to, but I see a "Description" panel that displays the entire XML of the page.

I don't want people using this dashboard to see the source XML. Is there a way I can prevent it from showing up? It's also inconsistent; I don't see the XML on other dynamic dashboards.

I'm guessing you have reused some of the code from the Splunk 6.x Dashboard Examples App which does include a SourceViewer in JavaScript. Make sure you're not importing that into your dashboards and the description/source panel should disappear.

If you copied over the entire JS from the examples app then there must have been a reason to need it... so check what that reason was before deleting stuff.

Deleting the folder on its own is not a good idea, it'll be referenced somewhere - my guess is dashboard.js if you also copied that from the examples app.

Yeah, I definitely see the javascript in the apps static content. Do I just need to remove the "srcviewer" folder from there, then restart the app? Or is there some configuration file I should change?
