Topology Visualization

The Topology Visualization app provides a custom Dashboard Studio visualization that renders parent/child topology diagrams directly from search results. The visualization displays a root or hub node at the center with child nodes radiating outward, automatically colored and scored based on health metrics. Built on Splunk's Dashboard Extension framework, the visualization supports interactive node positioning with built-in layout persistence that stores custom layouts directly in the dashboard JSON as standard visualization options. The app enables dashboard interactivity through click-driven token setting, allowing users to trigger actions and filter content based on node selection. Layout persistence operates without requiring KV Store collections, macros, or custom search commands, functioning through the native Dashboard Studio persistence layer. Users can drag nodes to create custom layouts in view mode, and administrators can publish these layouts to all users by switching to edit mode and saving without reloading the browser tab.
