Splunk makes it easy to build and edit dashboards without writing a single line of code. However, the question is what is a dashboard?
Note
A dashboard provides a visual interface that displays the key indicators to users in a single view. This view—called a dashboard—is designed to consolidate numerous areas of interest in order to increase the visibility of critical information.
In Splunk Web, every single (web) page is known as a view. Some of these views are shipped with and installed with Splunk by default (such as the Search & Reporting app). Splunk allows you to add new views to its apps and when you create your own Splunk apps, you can design and build views for them.
In Splunk, a dashboard is always associated with a specific app and is a type of view that is made up of panels. These panels can contain modules such as:
Search boxes
Fields
Charts
Tables
Lists
