something like this

in the layer preview windows.

Thanks for your help but it is not clear how to use, where to use, I'm searching somethings like working example, or some guide which help me to implement this. — Sandeep Prasad Kushwaha, Commented Oct 10, 2019 at 15:57
layout is added to GeoServer (legend.xml to be placed in GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/layouts use your code). — Mapperz, Commented Oct 10, 2019 at 16:02
If you do a WMS GetCapabilities request on your service, the response will tell you the URL for the legend through a GetLegendGraphic request for your layer and style combination. — nmtoken, Commented Oct 10, 2019 at 16:48
did you manage ? i am with the same problem, not sure where to insert the code to getlegend or what to change in the layout xml — Ana Lourenço, Commented Oct 15, 2019 at 15:11

You are looking for what GeoServer calls a Decoration - you need to create a layout file in a subdirectory called layouts in the GeoServer data directory as XML files, one file per layout. Each layout file must have the extension .xml. Once a layout foo.xml is defined, users can request it by adding &format_options=layout:foo to the request parameters.

Layout files follow a very simple XML structure; a root node named layout containing any number of decoration elements. The order of the decoration elements is the order they are drawn so, in case they are overlapping, the first one will appear under the others.

For a legend such as you seek, something like this:

<layout>
    <decoration type="legend" affinity="top,right" offset="6,6" size="auto"/>
</layout>

looking at the code it doesn't seem possible. You would need to use a getLegendGraphic request to control that
