topic How to write a custom generating command which can leverage the single input to collect data and write the output as events to an index? in Splunk Search https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-write-a-custom-generating-command-which-can-leverage-the/m-p/381804#M111647 <P>I am trying to find a good tutorial (yes, I have looked at the splunk documents) on writing a custom generating command which will take a single input, leverage the input to collect data (over an API call perhaps) and then write the output as events to an index. I can't seem to find good boiler-plate examples in the SDK, while they do provide templates. Are there any tutorials out there?</P> Thu, 03 May 2018 19:05:36 GMT panovattack 2018-05-03T19:05:36Z How to write a custom generating command which can leverage the single input to collect data and write the output as events to an index? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-to-write-a-custom-generating-command-which-can-leverage-the/m-p/381804#M111647 <P>I am trying to find a good tutorial (yes, I have looked at the splunk documents) on writing a custom generating command which will take a single input, leverage the input to collect data (over an API call perhaps) and then write the output as events to an index.
