https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/help-with-execution-python-as-alert-action-needed/m-p/431379#M12588 <P>Hello,</P> <P>Could someone please in short points describe what needs to be done in order to execute the python script as an alert action?<BR /> In the simplest possible version the python would just trigger my savedsearch.<BR /> How would it have to look like in the conf files and how the python itself needs to look like for that?</P> <P>.. I need to kick off my savedsearch as the follow up of the alert and have issues with this. I came to the idea to do this out of the python but I do not know what all configuration needs to be done for that and how the python would look like ...</P> <P>Thank you,<BR /> Kind Regards,<BR /> Kamil</P> Fri, 02 Aug 2019 15:36:06 GMT damucka 2019-08-02T15:36:06Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/help-with-execution-python-as-alert-action-needed/m-p/431379#M12588 <P>Hello,</P> <P>Could someone please in short points describe what needs to be done in order to execute the python script as an alert action?<BR /> In the simplest possible version the python would just trigger my savedsearch.<BR /> How would it have to look like in the conf files and how the python itself needs to look like for that?</P> <P>..

If so, just put the python script in the <CODE>bin</CODE> dir inside the alert action. </P> Fri, 02 Aug 2019 16:44:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/help-with-execution-python-as-alert-action-needed/m-p/431380#M12589 skoelpin 2019-08-02T16:44:11Z
