Global dashboard.js

[sboogaar]

Is it possible to make a dashboard.js for all pages (global)?
I want to run a specific script that adds a machine id to the header on every page in the splunk environment.
The script works perfectly at the moment for a specific app but im not able to run it on every page.

You can use a single JavaScript file at the app level. Place a file named dashboard.js in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_app/appserver/static Every dashboard in your app will execute this JavaScript without any modifications to the actual dashboard.
To make changes global you need to make changes here:-
$SPLUNK_HOME/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/

Need to be careful when you make changes to global file.

you can find more help here:-

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/my_app_name/appserver/static is exactly how I have it, but I want it everywhere/global.

@saurabh009 How do you apply changes on a distributed environment?

@sboogaar You can refernce the script using script=":.js" in your form or dashboard tag.
For example if your js is in search app and you want to reference in some other app, use this in the other app

 <dashboard script="search:dashboard.js">

I do not want to add it manually to every other dashboard I want to use one everywhere if possible. Else I could also just put it in the static directory of each app.
