Dashboards & Visualizations

JavaScript is not loading in my dashboard

This is the JS I'm using to check if user ID is 7 digits

require([
"jquery",
"splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"
], function($,TableView, mvc, DashboardController){
var checkAndSetEvents = function() {
if($("#user_input").length) {
$("#user_input").change(function(event){
if(event.target.value && event.target.value.length > 7) {
$(".btn.btn-primary.submit").removeAttr("disabled");
} else {
$(".btn.btn-primary.submit").attr("disabled", "disabled");
}
});
} else {
setTimeout(checkAndSetEvents, 500);
}
}
checkAndSetEvents();

});

Hi,
to include the script in your dashboard, please check the following:

  • You have included it in your dashboard's simpleXML form tag: <form script="myfile.js"> ... </form>
  • The .js file name is relative to the $SPLUNKDIR/etc/apps/<appname>/appserver/static and the file is in the right place
  • The file has read permissions for the splunk process user
  • You have cleared or disabled your local browser cache
  • You have reloaded the server settings and cleared the caches: https://yourserver:yourport/en-GB/debug/refresh and https://yourserver:yourport/en-GB/_bump

If it still doesn't work, maybe you could post your simpleXML and a little more details.
Hope it helps
Oliver

Hi @GGrishma,

Could you please share your dashboard ?

Also have a look at some previous answers on how to setup JS on the XML dashboard. Could be a good idea to start with a simple alert before moving to another function :
