http://localhost/en-US/debug/refresh from terminal/console

[czarny]

I want to put script that run URL http://localhost/en-US/debug/refresh in crontab to run periodically. Do you have any idea how to do that?
Maybe there is another way to do that? E.g. using splunk _internal call? I want to refresh all things like debug/refresh.

Hi czarny,

check out this app https://apps.splunk.com/app/1871/ it will provide a custom command called refresh which will do exactly the same as calling the URI /en-US/debug/refresh

hope this helps ...

Update:

there will be soon an update to the app released which works on Splunk 7.1.x. It also features the option to only reload one specific entity.

Link to the app: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1871/#/details

Hi. I installed the app. I am not able to get to the desired result. How do i use it?
./splunk _internal call refresh or ./splunk refresh or some other way.
Both the ways i mentioned above are not working.
please help.

The app clearly states the following:
Provides a custom search command refresh which reloads Splunk Configurations

So either you login in to the Splunk UI and enter | refresh in the search bar or use the CLI to run it like this $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk search "| refresh"

Hope that helps ...

Hi czarny,

Hold on a few more days. I'm in the process to write an App to address this.
