Programatically adding and removing mounts for indexing

[msacks]

I would like to know how I might go about automatically adding and removing log mounts for this environment, and making sure the corresponding data sources that I am changing to be indexed also update a specific custom application that encompasses that mount as well.

Hi msacks

yes, you can do this with the REST API, read more here: RESTconfigurations

cheers

I second gkanapathy comment. It's really unclear what you are trying >to do, and more importantly, what you are trying to do with splunk.

Programmatically update my Splunk configurations using an API.

No response. I'm giving a down vote.

I'm confused about what you're looking for. Splunk doesn't really take care of mounting or unmounting filesystems, and I'm not sure what you mean by "update a specific application". You mean if you change out a filesystem and path, you have to update the inputs.conf?
