I have created a python script for reading log data from a custom application. The script is copied in below folder
$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\search\bin\splunk_script.py
The configuration is done using the Data Inputs - Local Inputs - > Scripts menu to execute the script every 5 seconds
The script reads the . log file and returns text in CSV format
However the script is not executing.
Pls share the steps to configure a python script execution using the scripts option in data inputs. The results returned by the python scripts should be visible using the Search & Reporting menu in Splunk
Try running the script with the command:
splunk cmd python etc\apps\search\bin\splunk_script.py
This will run it with the same environment the scripted input would use, so it should help you identify potential permission or other issues.
script is working with that command but not working when i am using input.conf
