In this chapter, you learnt how to optimize dashboards to increase performance. This ultimately affects how quickly dashboards load results. We did this by adjusting search queries, leveraging summary indexes, and using the KV Store, accelerated searches, and data models to name a few. In the next chapter, we will discuss how to take a series of apps from Splunkbase, as well as any user-created dashboard, and put them into a Splunk app for ease of use. You will also learn how to adjust navigation XML to ease user navigation of such an app.
