Hello everyone! Welcome back! In this post we are going to demonstrate how to add static images or logos to your dashboards. This is pretty easy to do we just have to make a few additions from the command line and then update our dashboards. Files must be of either .jpeg or .png
Say I have an image called plane.png that looks like:

And we want to add that just above the title of the dashboard, in this example KC Fun:

So first we need to get the image into the right location, so in the SPLUNK_HOME/etc/yourapp/appserver/static create a new folder called images and add the image to that location.

Once that is completed go to your dashboard and edit the HTML code adn add this piece of code just before the title line:

Like this:

Refresh the dashboard and your image should appear like this

If it doesn't, you may need to restart splunk or refresh the static code by bumping the server. To do this so go to: https://<yourservername>:8000/en-US/_bump and click bump then go refresh your dashboard. Thanks for reading hope this helps you add images to your dashboards. Have a great day!!
Great tutorial! Adding static images or logos to dashboards not only enhances branding but also improves user clarity. Once integrated, it’s a smart idea to verify how your dashboard visuals appear across different screen types. Try using a black screen website to detect display issues like dead pixels, screen burn-in, or uneven brightness behind your logo elements. At black screenonl, we deliver a secure, distraction-free tool with zero tracking and no data collection. You can activate it while calibrating displays or run it during overnight tests. It’s a small step that can refine your visual presentations with full privacy protection.
