Scalable Vector Graphics - Custom Visualization allows Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) text generated from Splunk's Search Processing Language (SPL) to be displayed in a dashboard.
Generate any SVG text (statically or dynamically) and put the result into the svg_viz field so the visualisation can display it.
Select the SVG vizualization to display the svg_viz field as a SVG image.
The app contains different dashboard examples showing what can be created with the SVG visualisation.
Example dashboards in menu
The app contains macros to display pre-canned battery and counters visualisations.
Example dashboards in menu using SVG macros
Drilldowns are not supported per se but linking to other urls can be done via adding href links inside the SVG using the syntax <a href="{url_to_link_to}">{svg_tags}</a>
SVG visualizations can be printed directly from the browser or via Export -> Print on the dashboard.

Known Issues
Version 3.0.2
Bumped up versions of dependant javascript libraries
Dependant javascript libraries set to specific versions to remove the risk of dependant library updates impacting svg app
Version 3.0.1
SVG error message updates - SVG error animation disabled, configuration for animation time removed, now shows if it’s a parse or field error, bad SVG examples dashboard updated
Macro updates - fixed hardcoded error with viewbox macro
Viewbox updates - can opt-out of the default wrapping SVG into a viewbox, so the image can automatically fill into the outer HTML container, tweaked some panels in showcase dashboards to handle new viewbox options
