Loves-to-Learn Lots

Hello All,

Sorry, if this has already been answered. I'm a beginner and looking for some help.

I built a dashboard which has 3 columns. 

Employee ID | File Name | Download report link (Make a call to external URL)

When the user click on download report link button, I've to make a external webservice call which takes the filename as input and return the content/file.

i was able to make the call and everything was working.

However due to security concerns, now the API requires an authorization token (static value) to be sent as an HTTP Header. 

I'm not able to make much progress on how to set this http header when making an external webservice call from Splunk {cloud} dashboard.

 

Thanks for your help.
