Hi,

I have a jar file, has to run using batch file. I want the output of the batch file (After executing jar file) to index the output data and wanted to see the data using sourcetyp=******

or any other suggestion to use jar file's output?

Can anybody help on this.

I would suggest creating a Splunk Modular Input in Java.This modular input could classload the jar and invoke the main method as defined in the jar manifests "MAIN-CLASS" and output the data to STD OUT which Splunk will read in and index.

Your Modular Input would then be configurable in Splunk Web (execution interval , sourcetype , index, any other custom propertys you define etc..) , just like how you configure TCP/UDP/File inputs.
