The events/data is used to create a dashboard.</P> <P>To see details, the dashboard servers the purpose. Suppose in the dashboard a process is showing as STOPPED. Can I add a button to again restart the process.<BR /> Currently when the process is down , I restart using a unix script, I wish to call the same script from a dash board button. </P> <P>ANy suggestion if there is something in splunk to support this, or may be any other alternative?</P> Wed, 07 Jun 2017 14:47:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Execute-a-Unix-script-on-server-A-from-Splunk-Dashboard/m-p/338906#M39396 nishantmishra21 2017-06-07T14:47:11Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Execute-a-Unix-script-on-server-A-from-Splunk-Dashboard/m-p/338907#M39397 <P>You could make use of the <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.6.0/RESTTUT/RESTsearches">REST API</A> to have a cron job on each server search your Splunk instance for its own status, and perform the restart if necessary.</P> Thu, 08 Jun 2017 22:22:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Execute-a-Unix-script-on-server-A-from-Splunk-Dashboard/m-p/338907#M39397 micahkemp 2017-06-08T22:22:36Z
