Hello,

Could someone please in short points describe what needs to be done in order to execute the python script as an alert action?
In the simplest possible version the python would just trigger my savedsearch.
How would it have to look like in the conf files and how the python itself needs to look like for that?

.. I need to kick off my savedsearch as the follow up of the alert and have issues with this. I came to the idea to do this out of the python but I do not know what all configuration needs to be done for that and how the python would look like ...

Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Kamil

I'm guessing you're referring to the "splunk search" alert action from the other question I'm helping you with? If so, just put the python script in the bin dir inside the alert action.
