rockzers — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 15:01:03 GMT

reated splunk python script and set splunk web on "data input" and added all procedures

but my script is not running in splunk web and i installed python splunk sdk on windows using this command

pip install splunk-sdk

I've run my code in this folder and verified that it works

C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\search\bin\python sample.py

but it doesn't work in Splunk Web.
How to solve this problem on Windows? Do I need to change any in the Splunk folder path?

C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\search\bin\sample.py

any solution solve this problem in splunk windows?

You should test your Python script in the Splunk run-time environment before trying to run it in splunkweb.

splunk cmd python sample.py

Before we can tell you how to solve the problem we first have to know what the problem is. "It doesn't work" is not a problem description. What results do you get and how do those results not meet expectations? What error message(s) do you get? Have you checked python.log?

Hi @richgalloway

splunk cmd python sample.py

C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\search\bin>splunk cmd python sample.py
'splunk' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I checked the log using this command

index="_internal" ExecProcessor sourcetype="splunkd" ERROR

shows this error

Sorry. On Windows machines, the command is

splunk.exe cmd python sample.py

The log appears to have identified the problem.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘splunklib’

Did you include splunklib in your app?

I tried to move the splunklib folder from splunk-sdk-python-master to the bin folder and delete the splunk-sdk-python-master folder
it's working now
