Hi @anushay,

Yes, you can update configuration from dashboard using splunkjs.

1) Create custom endpoint which update configuration files. like inputs.conf.

see link for custom command tutorial: https://www.hurricanelabs.com/splunk-tutorials/splunk-custom-endpoints-part-1-the-basics

OR

You can use Splunk REST API for accessing/modifying configurations.

see below links:

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/6.6.3/RESTREF/RESTinput

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/RESTAPI/RESTinput

2) Use mvc.service for accessing custom endpoint / REST API from javascript .
eg,

var deps = [
            "splunkjs/ready!",
            "splunkjs/mvc"
        ];
require(deps, function(mvc) {
    var service = mvc.createService();
    service.post(MY_URL, {}, function(err, response) {
    //HANDLE Request
     });
});

see below links to javascript:

I hope this information will help you to start. Let me know if any help required.

Happy Splunking
