I am looking for a way to start a Splunk search from a bash script. The scrip will be scheduled using cron. It will run periodically checking for a file. If the file has been received, it should trigger a Splunk search. Is is possible to do that? How? Any clue?</P> <P>Thanks</P> Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:08:42 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/how-to-start-a-Splunk-search-from-a-bash-script/m-p/175040#M186628 juancnunezc 2013-12-11T15:08:42Z Re: how to start a Splunk search from a bash script https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/how-to-start-a-Splunk-search-from-a-bash-script/m-p/175041#M186629 <P>Why use bash? Splunk can monitor files and schedule scripts natively.</P> Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:14:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/how-to-start-a-Splunk-search-from-a-bash-script/m-p/175041#M186629 richgalloway 2013-12-11T15:14:40Z Re: how to start a Splunk search from a bash script https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/how-to-start-a-Splunk-search-from-a-bash-script/m-p/175042#M186630 <P>Ok, I did not know that.
