Hi @Damien Dallimore
My question is similar to this one : https://answers.splunk.com/answers/186128 but I need a bit more guidance please (and am on Splunk 7.3.0)

I have a REST endpoint that returns json but I require the http status codes to compare the json response to.
I know that is achieved with a custom response handler and i know how to select the custom handler in the UI but I don't know how to python 😞

Please help me

Thanks @PrewinThomas , Do you have sample custom response handler which outputs both status code and body.

Splunk’s REST Modular Input allows you to ingest data from REST APIs. By default, only the response body (e.g., JSON) is indexed. To also capture the HTTP status code, you need a custom response handler—a Python class that processes the HTTP response and outputs both the status code and the body.
