Need help with python script to log into Splunk Cloud

NanSplk01 — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 16:01:09 GMT

I have the following script, but it keeps erroring out.

def connect_to_splunk(username,password,host='http://xxxxxxxx.splunkcloud.com',port='8089',owner='admin',app='search',sharing='user'😞

try:

service=client.connect(username=username,password=password,host=host,port=port,owner=owner,app='search',sharing=sharing)

if splunk_service:

print("Splunk login successful")

print("......................" )

except Exception as e:

print(e)

def main():

try:

splunk_service = connect_to_splunk(username='xxxxxx',password='xxxxxxx')

except Exception as e:

print(e)

There is no error from the debugger (Using Visual Studio). Would appreciate any assistance.

What is the error?

Unfortunately it doesn't give me one. So I'm not positive what's going on.

We don't know what's going on, either. What makes you think it's "erroring out" if there are no errors?

You may have to add some debugging code to the script so it tells you more about what is happening.

I will test it again later today and let you know if I then see an error. I know the library I wanted to bring in splunklib did not exist.
