Can I call the static resources from an app that has global permissions?

On Search Head Cluster Mode, I have 4 search heads. I want to call some JS and CSS static resources in dashboard of search app. So how do I upload these JS and CSS to all search heads (directory : /appserver/static)? I think I can use deployer,so I follow the steps below

  1. Create an app on the deployer. and put JS and CSS file in directory /opt/splunk/etc/shcluster/apps/appname/appserver/static.

  2. Push this bundle to all search heads

  3. Set the app permissions as global

  4. Switch to dashboard of search app , and then load CSS and JS in the form tag of the dashboard.


    But it isn't working, I view the html source code of the dashboard, it doesn't load these static resources, why?

Thanks @deepashri_123 for your help. if i want to add custom files from a different app to a dashboard. I need use the following syntax.

<dashboard stylesheet="<app_name>:<style_filename>.css" script="<app_name>:<script_filename>.js">

example:

<dashboard stylesheet="search:my_custom_styles.css" script="search:my_custom_script.js">

Hey@bestSplunker,

Can you check on the search head if the app is properly pushed with the changes?On the search head the path will be /opt/splunk/etc/apps/appname/appserver/static

Also for dashboard styling you can refer this link:

Let me know if this helps!!
