An example of the use of tabs on a Splunk dashboard.
This app provides a mechanism for making tabbed panels in Splunk where the searches within the panels are not exeuted until the tab is selected.
See the following blog post for details: http://blogs.splunk.com/2015/03/30/making-a-dashboard-with-tabs-and-searches-that-run-when-clicked/
- This allows users to avoid leaving the dashboard and losing their context (moving between dashboards can be disruptive)
- This allows users to see the results of other panels without re-running the searches (moving back to prior dashboard would require to rerun the searches)
- This allows users to not run searches until they want to see the results (if all of the panels are on a single dashboard then all of the searches run when you load the dashboard)
- This prevents users from excessive scrolling (which would happen if you have them all on a single dashboard)
