This Java program add-on takes a properly formatted CSV file that contains the minimum
information to generate a timechart panel in a dashboard and generates a
complete Splunk Simple XML dashboard. Its main use is to rapidly prototype
the comparison of various values on the same screen so that these reports
can be generated for a quick comparison of values of data over time. An example
input CSV file is in the lookups directory for this add-on. It is hoped that
you will write your own input CSV file.

title, index, sourcetype, field, avg_count, line_column_area, earliest, latest
Average bytes,_internal,splunkd_access,bytes,avg,line,-24h,now
