Which of the following are true about creating and managing dashboards in Splunk? (Choose all that apply. There are four correct answers.)

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A dashboard can include panels based on reports, inline searches, or both.
The four correct statements are: (1) A dashboard can include panels based on reports, inline searches, or both; (2) A dashboard panel can display data using visualizations such as charts, tables, and maps; (3) A dashboard can be created from scratch using the Dashboard Editor without any existing search; (4) When editing a dashboard, you can set permissions to control which users can view or edit it. These are all documented features of Splunk dashboards. The two incorrect statements are false: dashboards do NOT require a saved report (they can use inline searches), and there is no fixed limit of five panels per dashboard.
