What do you want to execute and when? Are you looking to implement a custom search command or do you want to use a script when an alert triggers, or something else entirely?</P> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:09:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-execute-perl-script-in-splunk/m-p/90715#M18853 Ayn 2012-10-15T18:09:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-execute-perl-script-in-splunk/m-p/90716#M18854 <P>I want to make some report, which I am not able to make through the commands available in splunk, that's y want to write a perl script so that its output can be my desired result ..</P> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:20:35 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-execute-perl-script-in-splunk/m-p/90716#M18854 abhayneilam 2012-10-15T18:20:35Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-execute-perl-script-in-splunk/m-p/90717#M18855 <P>I believe what you want is to run an alert action. Schedule the search for the data you want sent to the script. Make an alert action that runs a script. The arguments are sent to the script and you can parse it at will from there.</P> <P><CODE><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0/Alert/Setupalertactions#Run_a_script" target="test_blank">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0/Alert/Setupalertactions#Run_a_script</A></CODE></P> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:29:38 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-execute-perl-script-in-splunk/m-p/90717#M18855 alacercogitatus 2012-10-15T18:29:38Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-execute-perl-script-in-splunk/m-p/90718#M18856 <P>I'd be thrilled to hear what you're trying to do - it's always a challenge to see if there IS a way to do it in Splunk after all (there often is) <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:34:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-execute-perl-script-in-splunk/m-p/90718#M18856 Ayn 2012-10-15T18:34:51Z
