I am beginner at python programming so asking your help to write short simple script.

My manager asked to send one file named "data.json" to splunk using python language and HTTP event collector. I tried to do it but I think as I am beginner in python, I don't know how to write the whole script that will do my work. Can anyone help me with this?

Can you please share if you have any source code which I can view it as a reference?

It would be really helpful if you can share the script where I can enter the file location, URL, and token and run the file to make it work as I am really struggling with my time and work. Please.

I would really appreciate your help and I will be happy to provide karma.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @jjoshi6 .. you seems to be newbie to both python and splunk.. so its a big task i would say to a newbie.

so, lets do this step by step...

1. have you configured data ingestion from a UF to indexer?

2. have you configured some "scripted inputs" from a UF to indexer?

3. have you configured a basic HEC data input to indexer..

once you done these you will feel more comfortable and then you can check the github page which @richgalloway given above. hope its clear, all the best to your splunk and python journey!

As a new member, you may not know about karma points,.. karma points will show your appreciation. thanks!
