I have configured an alert for my desired condition.<BR /> I need to run a script that is present on my forwarder as post alert action. Is that possible to access forwarder scripts from a search head where I trigger a post script?</P> Fri, 03 Feb 2017 10:48:41 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-invoke-a-script-on-forwarder-as-an-alert-post/m-p/275421#M52824 Sidharda 2017-02-03T10:48:41Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-invoke-a-script-on-forwarder-as-an-alert-post/m-p/275422#M52825 <P>Well, sure - but it's not trivial. You'll have to write code. I would suggest having something that can run on your search head, and use ssh to connect back to the UF to run the script. You'll need an SSH client on your windows search head that is scriptable - you might find something like Fabric (<A href="http://www.fabfile.org/">http://www.fabfile.org/</A>) helpful.</P> Sun, 05 Feb 2017 16:02:30 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-invoke-a-script-on-forwarder-as-an-alert-post/m-p/275422#M52825 dwaddle 2017-02-05T16:02:30Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-invoke-a-script-on-forwarder-as-an-alert-post/m-p/275423#M52826 <P>Thx dwaddle,</P> <P>I have written a simple script on my SH to connect to my UF and run a script on UF. I have used the PLINK (PuttyLINK) to establish the connection.</P> Fri, 17 Feb 2017 16:32:10 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-invoke-a-script-on-forwarder-as-an-alert-post/m-p/275423#M52826 Sidharda 2017-02-17T16:32:10Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-invoke-a-script-on-forwarder-as-an-alert-post/m-p/275424#M52827 <P>@Sidharda - Did the answer provided by dwaddle provide a solution to your question?
