SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Creating Reports, Dashboards and Visualizations
Which THREE elements are required to create a dashboard in Splunk Web? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse optional features (like a time range picker or scheduled reports) with mandatory elements, leading them to select A or E instead of recognizing that only a panel, a title, and at least one role permission are strictly required.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
At least one panel
A dashboard in Splunk Web must contain at least one panel to display data. Panels are the fundamental building blocks of a dashboard; without them, there is no content to visualize. A dashboard with zero panels is invalid and cannot be saved or rendered.
