Hello,

Can someone please kindly help me with the Javascript for the below criteria.

Let's follow the best practice for calling third-party API from Splunk Dashboard.

Create Custom Splunk API which will trigger PagerDuty API
- Pass appropriate PagerDuty access tokens
- Refer: https://hurricanelabs.com/splunk-tutorials/splunk-custom-endpoints-part-1-the-basics/
Create JavaScript function and trigger on Button on Click
- Refer: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Building-for-the-Splunk-Platform/How-to-call-custom-rest-api-with-SplunkJS-SDK-in-app/m-p/592317

Please check below pictorial view for Flow understanding.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks

May be it's late but answering.

You can call callCustomAPI from the button click event or any other javascript event.
