Hi

I have a simple dashboard that is running the javascript on a load of the page.

The idea is I have a button that will do an action when I press the button.

But the javascript is running when I load the page, the button does work when you press it but the issue is it is now pressed twice not once.

Any help would be great, cheers.

 

 

<dashboard script="run_command_from_button.js">
 
  <label>Sync Configuration</label>
  <row>
    <panel >

      <title>The Below button will sync any changes from the Search head to the indexers, this can take 2 minutes to full sync</title>
      <html>
        <div>
          <input id="btn-submit" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" value="Click to Sync"/>
        </div>
      </html>
     
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

 

 

The javascript

 

 

require([
   "jquery",
   "splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager",
   "splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"
 ], function(
     $,
     SearchManager
 ) {
    

var mysearch = new SearchManager({
         id: "mysearch",
         autostart: "false",
         search: "| runshellscript  Test_runshellscript.sh 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" 
     });
	
     $("#btn-submit").on("click", function (){
         var ok = confirm("Push New Configuration out ot the Indexers?");
         if ( ok==true ){
             mysearch.startSearch();
         } else {
             alert('New Conf Not Pushed');
         }
     });
	
});
