I've written most of it up using the Python SDK and now that I'm getting into the nitty gritty, I want to encrypt and hide the password value for security purposes.</P> <P><A href="http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAER3" target="_blank">http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAER3</A></P> <P>I've used the above URL as a guide, but when I did a search on password fields, I found this article instead.</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/AdvancedDev/ModInputsExample" target="_blank">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/AdvancedDev/ModInputsExample</A></P> <P>In the second link, it creates a password field using the XML scheme, but I can't find an equivalent for the python code.</P> <P>I took a look in the (I'm not at my devel pc at the moment) splunklib/modularinput folder and I believe in the arguments module, there is only templates for string, number and float, eg data_type_number, data_type_string, etc.</P> <P>Is there a way I can code this in Python in a way Splunk will understand or will I need to change my scheme to incorporate the xml?</P> <P>Thanks in advance.</P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 14:56:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Password-field-for-Modular-Input-using-Python-SDK/m-p/93637#M3095 stephenho 2020-09-28T14:56:51Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Password-field-for-Modular-Input-using-Python-SDK/m-p/93638#M3096 <P>You need to create a custom Splunk manager page for your modular input to hide the password and add a password confirmation field.</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/AdvancedDev/ModInputsCustomizeUI">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/AdvancedDev/ModInputsCustomizeUI</A></P> <P>When you create an element for your password field, use <CODE>type="password"</CODE>.
