running a custom command via a button

Dashboards & Visualizations

hi guys

i want to run a custom splunk command via a button i can put on the dashboard. i want to do it via a visualization and not editing the xml. I want it work like a panel that can be added via the add panel option on the dashboard. i know it should be done via the visualizaions.js file in a custom visualization but i would like some help on how to write the visualization_source.js file for it.

So the logic is

button - visualization.js - custom command

im assuming the command will have to be run via REST

any help is appreciated
