Splunk Add-on Builder: How to reference an input's interval setting within a modular input python script?

[rleviseur]

I'm using the Splunk Add-on Builder and building a modular input using my own python code. How can I reference the value of the input's interval setting from within that python script?

Example: If the interval is set to 300 seconds, I'd like to do something in the script like:
myinterval = helper.get_arg('interval')
and have that variable equal 300

stanza = helper.get_input_stanza()
interval = 30
    if 'interval' in stanza.values()[0]:
    interval = stanza.values()[0]['interval']

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks. I'll give this a shot. Your comment about it just not existing during the tests makes sense.

Can't guarantee this. I'd try looking in the contents of helper.get_input_stanza(). You might have to parse it out from there,

I thought about that, too.

Oddly enough, the stanza didn't appear to have an interval option/setting. So that didn't work for me. Thanks, though.

I found that to be the case when running the test since it's a one time thing, but it exists for the actual input.
