Splunk DB connect: How to use python sdk to change data_input status

Hi All,

Befor I use DB connect plugin, I use python-sdk to check out disabled status of data_input, here is my code:

data_input = service.inputs[title]

# Print the input's current properties

    print "\nDisabled:", data_input["disabled"], " <--"

if data_input["disabled"] == '1':

    print "\nSince data input \"" + data_input.name + "\" is disabled(\"1\") now, enable the data port now..."

    # Modify a disabled

    kwargs = {"disabled": 0}

    # Update changes on the server

    data_input.update(**kwargs).refresh()

    # Display the new status

    print "\nDisabled:", data_input["disabled"], " <--"

else:

    pass

It's work and print:

Title: 10514
Connection_host: ip
Host: sdk-test-mod
Index: default
Sourcetype: syslog

Disabled: 1 <--

Since data input "10514" is disabled("1") now, enable the data port now...

Disabled: 0 <--

Since this case, I try to run my code to check out the disabled status of db connect, but I got this error:
http 500 bad request, feature "disabled" not supported from this handler.

Any way or suggestion I can debug?

Thank you!!

I found that most of the REST inputs are disabled in DB Connect V3, are you also using DB Connect V3 ? You might want to have a quick read of https://answers.splunk.com/answers/516111/splunk-db-connect-v3-automated-programmatic-creati.html#an... if this is the case...

The 500 disabled implies it's not supported in the DB Connect version you are using..

This is saying that the db connect v2 data_input rest endpoint doesnt support a "disabled" function. Maybe they called it "enabled" or "disable", etc. Try browsing to the endpoint in chrome browser and see what options it supports.

Hi Garethatiag, thank you for your response. Since I found "REST: inputs - disabled status" are disabled in DB Connect V3 also DB connect V2, I solve problem by follow your answer of Db connect V3, although my DB Connect is V2.
Thank you very much!!
