In this hands-on tech session, Robert Castley, Splunk Staff Strategist at Splunk, shows what becomes possible when you step beyond the defaults. Using nothing but JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API, Robert has built a fully custom F1 telemetry dashboard inside Splunk Dashboard Studio — complete with arc gauges, live track maps, tyre temperature displays, energy recovery bars, and real-time lap timing. No React. No D3. No additional frameworks.

This session walks you through exactly how he did it, and how you can do it too.
You'll learn how the Splunk Visualization Framework works under the hood, how to structure a custom visualization module, and how to connect it to any Splunk search so it renders like a native chart type. Once built, these visualizations are fully reusable — colleagues can pick them from a dropdown, point them at their own data, and go.
