Adding javascript to splunk dashboard

nisha_kapoor — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 02:25:42 GMT

I am pretty new to Splunk, so this might seem a little basic, but can someone please share a demo javascript file? This is my simple test javascript code which is doesn't work.

function msg(){  
 alert("Hello Javatpoint");  
}

Are there any require statements, etc which I am missing? I have pasted this file myScript.js in C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\search\appserver\static. This is how I reference it in Splunk:

<dashboard script="myScript.js">
  <label>Hello</label>
  <row>
     <panel>
    <html>
    <input type="button" value="click" onclick="msg()"/>  
  </html>
  </panel>
  </row>


</dashboard>

Also I restarted Splunk. But still the message is not displayed. Is there something I am missing?

Here is the updated JS

require(['jquery','underscore','splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager','splunkjs/mvc','splunkjs/mvc/utils','splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!','splunkjs/ready!'], function($,_,SearchManager,mvc){
console.log("HI");
        var submitted = mvc.Components.getInstance('submitted', {create: true});
        console.log(submitted)
        function msg(){
                 console.log("Hi I am here");
                 alert("Hello Javatpoint");
         }
        submitted.on('click:btn',msg);
        msg();
});

You need to set id=btn for your button.

@nisha_kapoor , I have already answered this query in my answer. Please refer to the same. There is an example of JavaScript alert and another one for Modal Error Message.
