2.Can we write complex HTML Code in Splunk Cloud Dashboard.

If not possible means what will be alternative solution for above, can anyone please clarify.

I have tried this method customizing inside app and install using Install App. But i am getting JavaScript error message.

You mean you uploaded the app OK, but your JS is throwing errors or the AppInspect process failed and you could not upload the app?

dinesh001kumar

App was uploaded successfully, when I try to use Javascript in Splunk cloud getting error. Is there any blockage at Splunk end due to security reason, same javascript i can able to use Splunk enterprises.

Without knowing what you're trying to do, I couldn't answer that - if you managed to upload the app, then I would guess there might be some issues with your JS, but there may also be some sandbox restrictions around what you can do.

Hi @dinesh001kumar

To remove any uncertainty, it *is* possible to have custom css/js within apps in Splunk Cloud, however I dont think you can upload the files via the Splunk Cloud UI, instead you will need to package the files within your custom app in <app_name>/appserver/static directory.

Once packaged and uploaded to Splunk Cloud this should work the same as you may have previously used on-premise with Splunk Enterprise.

For more information check out https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/AdvancedDev/UseCSS

As @bowesmana stated, if you are on Victoria experience Splunk Cloud stack then your app should sail through appsinpect without having to be manually inspected.

My requirement is to create similar in Splunk Cloud.

bowesmana

You can upload your own app with custom JS and css in it, as long as you are on Victoria experience in the Cloud and the JS will pass the AppInspect when you upload the app.

We do this all the time and have a set of JS functions that we use for our applications that are bundled with every app we created.

1-Due to security restriction, normally you can't upload or reference custom js files directly in the cloud. You can raise a support request to include simple xml js extensions for review and to upload it for you.

2-You can use the <html> panel in Simple XML dashboards for custom HTML, but it is limited. Normally you cannot use inline JavaScript, and some HTML elements may be restricted.

Alternative -
Unfortunately use the built-in features of Dashboard Studio or Simple XML extensions.
For specific needs, reach out to Splunk Cloud Support to request a review and upload of vetted JS/CSS files.

Audio Support-Dashboard Studio does not natively support embedding or playing audio files. As a workaround, you could set up external alerting (e.g., send a webhook/email to a system that plays audio)
