I need that REST API makes HTTP requests only once a minute. How I make this?
This API makes many requests per minute. I don't need this. I can't adjust the frequency of requests.
I change the field "Sequential Stagger Time", but this doesn't do anything.
The polling interval parameter controls the frequency of requests.The default is 60 seconds.
As per the description in the UI :
If you are seeing more requests, then perhaps my guesses are :
1) you have errors , search with "index_internal ExecProcessor error rest.py" to find any
2) you have some other rest.py processes in the background doing things
So,
Below, the content of inputs.conf without some confidentiality attributes
[rest://RequestFresh]
auth_type = basic
http_header_propertys = Content-Type=application/json
http_method = GET
index = freshdesk
index_error_response_codes = 0
response_type = json
sequential_mode = 0
sourcetype = freshdesk
streaming_request = 0
url_args = format=json,page=1
disabled = 1
sequential_stagger_time =
polling_interval = 600000
Are you performing token replacement in the URL ?
Also, just an observation 600000 should be 60 (seconds).
There was a typo in my error search string above , try this in Splunk:
index=_internal ExecProcessor error rest.py
Thank you for efforts on helping me, but:
I'm not perfoming token replacement.
I put 600000 for tests and other higher values, but the frequency of requests remains unchanged.
I tried this search query, but it didn't return any results. The app indexes responses perfectly, but tcpdump in Linux confirms the number of requests.
