Dashboard items type

A new item on the IBM® QRadar® dashboard. These items are available to users, who must manually add the items to their dashboard.

The contents of the item come from the response of the REST method execution. The expected format of the response is outlined in the following way:

{
    id:"Unique ID of item"
    title:"Title text to display in the item",
    HTML:"Contents of dashboard item, including 
    any HTML and JavaScript you want to use."
}

Each time the dashboard item is refreshed, the REST method runs, so methods have a short response time. The current default refresh rate for dashboard items in QRadar is 60 seconds.

The following table describes the dashboard_items block fields in the manifest.json file.
