I had a blast at .conf25 2025 by Splunk and an on-site interview I recorded with Lizzy Li, Principal PM for dashboards at Splunk. I spent time at the Data Visualizations area to understand how teams bring Splunk data to life for investigations and exec reviews. Lizzy walked me through three layers:

- Splunk UI Toolkit for reusable UI components so internal teams and developers can build apps faster

- The dashboard framework and visualizations that power charts across the Splunk portfolio and let developers create custom experiences

- Dashboard Studio, the general purpose tool most customers use to build and share dashboards

What stood out:

- Flexibility. Customers are not limited to charts in a grid. Think floor plans, architecture diagrams, and network maps that match real-world layouts

- One view of more data. Dashboard Studio can bring together logs, observability metrics, and with federation, external data sources

- Scale and performance. Tabs let you pack multiple dashboards into one, and performance updates keep large numbers of charts responsive

- New this year. More advanced logic and the ability to show or hide panels dynamically so analysts can tailor the view during an investigation

If you care about clear, flexible dashboards that can handle real-world complexity, you will like this conversation. Full interview is below.
