Hi

I need to press a button on a dashboard and for it to trigger a .sh script in my APP.

However when I load the page it run the script before I press the button

 

<dashboard script="run_action.js">
  <label>Test Action</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <button class="btn btn-primary button1">Run search!</button>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

 

 

/data/apps/splunk/splunk/etc/apps/MxMonitor_MONITORING_MVP_BETA/appserver/static/run_action.js

 

 

require([
            "jquery",
            "splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager",
            "splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"
          ], function(
              $,
              SearchManager
          ) {
              var mysearch = new SearchManager({
                  id: "mysearch",
                  autostart: "false",
                  search: "| runshellscript Test_Script123.sh 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" 
              });
              $(".button1").on("click", function (){
                  var ok = confirm("Are you sure?");
                  if (ok){
                      mysearch.startSearch();
                      alert('attempted restart!');
                  } //else {
                  //    alert('user did not click ok!');
                  //}
              });
         });
