Splunk Cloud - update .js file in dashboard

[omcollia]

I have a dashboard in an app that uses a .js file. I'd like to understand how to modify it, given that I'm on Splunk Cloud. I've already searched my platform, but I can't find anything like add-ons for .js files. However, I'm sure that my file is located at it-IT/static/app/app/yourfilename.js. I'd also like to know if, after modifying my file, I need to perform any refresh.

Splunk Cloud, you likely need admin or developer permissions to modify it. Since Splunk Cloud has restrictions on direct file modifications, you may need to package your changes as an app update and upload it via the App Manager. After modifying the file, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing Splunk (Ctrl + Shift + R). If changes don’t apply, restarting the app or reloading Splunk Web may help.

@omcollia- On Splunk Cloud -> You are not allowed to update JS from some other JS file in any way (programatically or manually not allowed).

So the only option you have is:

• If App is build by you, you can update the JS and publish the new version of the App.
• If the App is built by someone else, ask the Developer for the change if they can do that.

I hope this helps!!!
