Enhanced Reporting Capabilities
Splunk Mobile is an advanced support for Splunk reports. This feature allows users to save and schedule Splunk searches for future execution, providing a streamlined approach to data analysis. The app now includes a dedicated section for accessing both scheduled and unscheduled reports, with intuitive filters for all, scheduled, or favorited reports, enhancing the ease of use and accessibility for frequent reports.
Innovative Web-to-Mobile Dashboard Sharing
The “Web-to-Mobile Dashboard Sharing” feature in Splunk Mobile operational as of 2023. This feature allows seamless sharing of dashboards between Splunk Web and Mobile, facilitating quick access to data analysis on mobile devices. This feature not only simplifies access to vital data insights but also encourages collaborative data-driven decision-making, regardless of location.
To use this feature, users need to download the Splunk Mobile app, activate the Splunk Secure Gateway (SSG) app, and enable JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Sharing dashboards via this method involves opening a dashboard in View mode, selecting the ‘View on Mobile’ option from the Actions dropdown, and then scanning the QR code presented. This process automatically logs the user into the instance and displays the dashboard on their mobile device.
As part of the Splunk Cloud Platform 9.0.2209 updates, there has been an enhancement in the viewing of Dashboard Studio and Classic dashboards on Splunk Mobile. Each dashboard comes with a scannable QR code that, when scanned, automatically registers users, and displays the dashboard on their mobile device. This update aims to provide analysts with faster troubleshooting, enhanced drill-down capabilities, and streamlined access to dashboards.
Grid View for Classic Dashboards
Responding to user feedback, Splunk Mobile has introduced a new grid view for Classic Dashboards. This update provides an alternative to the list view, offering a more organized and visually appealing way to navigate through dashboard panels. This flexibility ensures that users can choose the view that best suits their preferences and needs, enhancing the overall user experience.
Scheduled Report Notifications
Another significant enhancement is the introduction of notifications for scheduled reports. This feature replaces the traditional email notifications with mobile alerts, informing users when the results of their scheduled reports are ready for review. With the ability to review results directly in the app as native visualizations and tables, this update streamlines the process of staying informed about critical data updates.
Impact on Business Operations
