My manager asked to send one file named "data.json" to splunk using python language and HTTP event collector. I tried to do it but I think as I am beginner in python, I don't know how to write the whole script that will do my work. Can anyone help me with this?
Hi @jjoshi6 .. you seems to be newbie to both python and splunk.. so its a big task i would say to a newbie.
so, lets do this step by step...
1. have you configured data ingestion from a UF to indexer?
2. have you configured some "scripted inputs" from a UF to indexer?
3. have you configured a basic HEC data input to indexer..
once you done these you will feel more comfortable and then you can check the github page which @richgalloway given above. hope its clear, all the best to your splunk and python journey!

Can you please share if you have any source code which I can view it as a reference?
It would be really helpful if you can share the script where I can enter the file location, URL, and token and run the file to make it work as I am really struggling with my time and work. Please.
I would really appreciate your help and I will be happy to provide karma.
Thanks in advance.
