The input_module_*.py seems to exit immediately. Any suggestions would be great.</P> Tue, 29 Sep 2020 19:18:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/how-to-test-add-on-builder-python-code-from-remote-dev/m-p/370365#M44716 pmeyerson 2020-09-29T19:18:36Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/how-to-test-add-on-builder-python-code-from-remote-dev/m-p/370366#M44717 <P>Or should this work pretty effortlessly?<BR /> Guess I could install splunk on my dev too!</P> Mon, 30 Apr 2018 02:34:30 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/how-to-test-add-on-builder-python-code-from-remote-dev/m-p/370366#M44717 pmeyerson 2018-04-30T02:34:30Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/how-to-test-add-on-builder-python-code-from-remote-dev/m-p/370367#M44718 <P>AoB developed a toolchain as Python libs for you. If you want to invoke some functions outside of AoB, please copy all the py files under "bin" folder to another Splunk app. Otherwise you have to figure out the callstacks by yourself.</P> Mon, 30 Apr 2018 16:45:46 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/how-to-test-add-on-builder-python-code-from-remote-dev/m-p/370367#M44718 chli_splunk 2018-04-30T16:45:46Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/how-to-test-add-on-builder-python-code-from-remote-dev/m-p/370368#M44719 <P>Right thanks, I did make sure to copy all of the files under /bin and subdirectories as well.

But if your new input has different parameters or settings, you have to update some files manually including inputs.conf.spec, inputs.conf, restmap.conf, py files etc. You can refer the templates in AoB to see how to apply different settings to the code generation: $SPLUNK_HONE/etc/apps/splunk_app_addon-builder/bin/ta_gnerator/resources</P> <P>Use AoB to build another addon is highly recommended, since it's not easy to do everything manually.</P> Tue, 29 Sep 2020 19:23:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/how-to-test-add-on-builder-python-code-from-remote-dev/m-p/370369#M44720 chli_splunk 2020-09-29T19:23:07Z
