We are trying to integrate Splunk with Automation-anywhere which is a RPA tool, any idea on that? is there any app for it?
I integrated another automation tool called Automic
with Splunk. One use case was using Splunk to track average response time of the web service calls then firing an alert/script when average response time reached 150% higher than the previous 10 minutes. Automic was file-watching
and saw a new text file with the hostname of the degraded web services server and initiated an app pool recycle.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Hi Skoelpin,
Could you please let me know how we can integrate automic with splunk, we have similar type of use case like you mentioned above.
Thanks that would completely solve my issue, I am new to splunk, can you also inform how can I place the file to the file system by splunk.
Sure, and also welcome to Splunk!
Place your script in $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts
When you create a search, you go to the top right Save As
and and select Alert
.. You then fill in the alert info, then below select Add Actions
then Run a Script
and put in the file name.. Now when your alert fires it will execute this script

Our requirement is generate multiple excel files with reports in splunk and combine those generated sheets in another template excel in different tabs, zip the excel and upload to sharepoint.
My idea was I can generate the excel files in splunk and use automation anywhere to do rest ,
Not sure if I can implement the whole in splunk itself without the RPA tool. That would have been great.
Splunk can defiantly generate and export the reports for you while any decent automation tool can do the rest.. Since you are working with Excel, you will need some VBA knowledge to manipulate the sheets. I would create a Splunk saved search which will generate and place the file on the file system, then have your automation tool run on a schedule to kick off the workflow.
Assuming you have a workflow set up with jobs dependencies, first job will verify a new file was placed on the file system, second job will then execute a powershell script on the file system which will trigger your VBA code, your VBA code will do the Excel magic, third job will do a quick smoke test of the finalized file, last job will email the results..
