20-2Customizing Dashboards

An interface and simple XML sourceCorrect · your answerCorrect.
A read only source viewThe source can be edited rather than only read.

Correct.

Concept

Most changes are faster in a form and a few are only possible in the source. Having both in one tool means dropping to XML does not mean leaving the page.

Why A

Splunk states that you use the Splunk Web dashboard editor to create and edit dashboards, and that it provides access to an editing user interface and simple XML source code.

Source

Use the Splunk Web dashboard editor to create and edit dashboards. The dashboard editor provides access to an editing user interface and Simple XML source code.
