You can filter the data file, then splunk monitor the file and index it. </P> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:51:21 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/splunk-python-script/m-p/77359#M1099 Takajian 2012-06-18T10:51:21Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/splunk-python-script/m-p/77360#M1100 <P>If you install a Splunk indexer and change it into a heavy forwarder you can configure it with scripted inputs as it comes with the Python interpreter. Splunk universal forwarders cannot execute python scripted inputs so if it was on a remote system you would have to install a python exe.</P> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:13:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/splunk-python-script/m-p/77360#M1100 Drainy 2012-06-18T15:13:07Z
