Then you could run searches remotely and make those search results a conditional part of your script. </P> Fri, 29 Jul 2016 12:14:09 GMT ryanoconnor 2016-07-29T12:14:09Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Running-an-alert-script-locally-when-using-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/200080#M3485 <P>I'd like to run a script based on a pattern match in a particular logfile. Ordinarily I'd do this with an alert, but I can't do that because—</P> <UL> <LI>I'm using Splunk Cloud so I can't easily run a script from an alert as I would if we were hosting everything ourselves; and</LI> <LI>the script will need to call services that are only present on our corporate network.</LI> </UL> <P>Is there any way of getting the forwarder to run the script when a particular pattern matches? Or is there another approach that I could try?</P> Fri, 29 Jul 2016 08:53:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Running-an-alert-script-locally-when-using-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/200080#M3485 ichard 2016-07-29T08:53:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Running-an-alert-script-locally-when-using-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/200081#M3486 <P>One approach you might be able to try is to request access to the REST API for your Cloud Search Heads.
