Hi everyone,

I'm trying to display the results of a file in Splunk using the django bindings, but something is wrong in my code. Could someone help me?

URL.py

url(r'^mypage/$', 'mynewapp.views.mypage_view', name='mypage'),

views.py

@render_to('mynewapp:mypage.html')
@login_required
def mypage_view(request):
file_data = ''
service = request.service
with open(csvfile, "r+") as lines:      
for line in lines:
    file_data += line
     return file_data

mypage.html

   {% for data in file_data %}
    <p>{{ data }}</p>
    {% endfor %}

Just wanted to update with some progress ..
ok, so after changing my urls.py for my app from ;

url(r'^mypage/$', 'mynewapp.views.mypage_view', name='mypage'),

to

url(r'^mypage/$', render('mynewapp:mypage.html'), name='mypage'),

My urls.py and "views.py" are now working.

I am still not able to display some of the contents from my views.py in my "mypage", however i can see that it gets the list of apps from splunk at least and iterate over it, but still does not display the results on mypage.

a small step for mankind but a huge leap forward for lmyrefelt 🙂

cool : ) Can I ask you when you will finish, how set a condition to execute the render? Because for now (that I have used: url(r'^pythondemo/$', 'mynewapp.views.pythondemo_view', name='pythondemo'), like in the splunk demo ) work in the moment that I open my app, but I would like that this will work only after a choose in the dropdown menu.

So you got the example(s) to work? if i do use the example(s) code in dev.splunk.com for the django app i am only getting this message over and over again.

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

I also get these ones (if some devs are dropping by) :

2015-02-25 11:05:11,968 ERROR urls:68 - invalid syntax (urls.py, line 13) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/splunk/dev/6.2.1/splunk/etc/apps/framework/server/urls.py", line 61, in load_urls_for_app module_with_urls = importlib.import_module("%s.urls" % app) File "/opt/splunk/dev/6.2.1/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 35, in import_module __import__(name) File "/opt/splunk/dev/6.2.1/splunk/etc/apps/filex/django/filex/urls.py", line 13 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

As soon as i change (urls.py) as above i get the urls to work and no more error message as above

Yes, with the example works, but if I try to change the name of the variable, anything doesn't work.
Try to look at this: http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAEMP

Don't worry, I had the same problem XD
Let me know if changing the variables it start to work, like use instead of "pythondemo" "mypage", something like this.

OK, so i have manage to start to get the views.py working ... as i am a newbie with python ... i have not yet hammered the "indention" into the back of my head !
That seems to have been a big part of at least my problems!

Maybe that is something you should verify as well ? You should be able to find the messages under; sourcetype=djange_service

Sorry, I'm not sure of what you are asking, to me, could you said it again?

You might need to put your code more "inline" that is add a tab to the beginning of the code

Example (compare to your pasted code above;

@render_to('mynewapp:mypage.html')
 @login_required
 def mypage_view(request):
          file_data = ''
          service = request.service
          with open(csvfile, "r+") as lines:        
               for line in lines:
                     file_data += line
               return file_data

}

or Similar.

You should be able to find an (python) error message in index=_internal sourceype="django*"

Sure, sorry,
I'm using this indention now:

@render_to('mynewapp:mypage.html')
@login_required
def mypage_view(request):
    file_data = ''
    service = request.service
    with open(csvfile, "r+") as lines:
        for line in lines:
            file_data += line
return file_data

For each type of error that I do, I have ALWAYS this error: Internal server error.
However, my problem is not the inline of the code, like this works.
I found problem when I change the name of my file from pythondemo to mypage
