Dashboard Panel with custom static HTML?

[andrewkenth]

Is it possible to have a dashboard panel show static HTML? I'd like to put some contact and support info in 1 dashboard, that is all static. Nothing to fancy or dynamic.

Thanks!

Anyone have a clean way to do this where a a power user can click on something to edit the text without going to the source and modifying the HTML?

Yes. In Simple XML, you can use the HTML panels type: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#html

To include static html contend within a dashboard, you can use "StaticContentSample" module. Example below:-

 <module name="StaticContentSample" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
        <param name="text"><![CDATA[
            <h1>Header </h1>
                <p>
                  Some text                    </p>
                <p>
                   some other text                      </p>
                <p>
                    blah blah                    </p>
            ]]>
        </param>
        </module>

If you are using Sideview Util, you can utilize "HTML" module for the same as follows:-

<module name="HTML" layoutPanel="viewHeader">       
            <param name="html">
            <![CDATA[
                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%">
                    <tr>
                        <td><h2>Title</h2></td>                                        
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>This dashboard Does something </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            ]]>
            </param>

      </module>
