Parameters in script

dbashyam — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 13:53:23 GMT

Hi, I have a script which needs parameters to be passed. I know that I can enroll the script in the input.conf file but any idea what is the keyword in inputs.conf file that accepts parameters.

For example: I have a script which is located in
/usr/test/dq_test.pl CHAN
/usr/test/dq_test.pl MAHN 0.25

So, how to pass parameter like CHAN and MAHN 0.25 in the inputs.conf file?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dinesh

I think that it's in the script stanza directly;

[script:///usr/test/dq_test.pl MAHN 0.25]

Hi YannK...Sure I will definitely give back and comment after implementing this at my end. Thanks

on more recent splunk please prefer modular inputs instead of scripts :
