I’m trying to figure out why anyone would want to create a dashboard in Splunk. Views allow you to add forms along with any charts and searches, while dashboards do not. So, why would I want to make a dashboard? Is there any advantage of one vs the other?
A dashboard is a special case of view.
A normal view would allow you to change search conditions and hence view the changed results.
Dashboards are useful to as they consist of multiple panels and can accumulate data from multiple datasources into one quick view.
For example if you want to view the number of errors and map that against the CPU on the box at the same time, the dashboard comes in handy
