A user wants to add a link to an existing dashboard from an alert. When they click the dimension value in the alert message, they are taken to the dashboard keeping the context. How can this be accomplished? (select all that apply)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

The possible ways to add a link to an existing dashboard from an alert are:

Build a global data link. A global data link is a feature that allows you to create a link from any dimension value in any chart or table to a dashboard of your choice. You can specify the source and target dashboards, the dimension name and value, and the query parameters to pass along. When you click on the dimension value in the alert message, you will be taken to the dashboard with the context preserved1

Add a link to the field. A field link is a feature that allows you to create a link from any field value in any search result or alert message to a dashboard of your choice. You can specify the field name and value, the dashboard name and ID, and the query parameters to pass along. When you click on the field value in the alert message, you will be taken to the dashboard with the context preserved2

Therefore, the correct answer is A and C.

To learn more about how to use global data links and field links in Splunk Observability Cloud, you can refer to these documentations12.

C and D, no doubt about it. The user wants to keep the context, so linking directly to the dashboard from the alert makes the most sense.

Haha, this is easy! I'm going to go with C and D. Who needs global data links or Runbook URLs when you can just add a good old-fashioned link?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I was thinking B and D might work, but C and D seem more likely. I better review the options again.
