Hey there Splunk community. I'm new here and I would appreciate some help if it is possible.
I wrote a Python script that generates a XML file when you run it. However, when I run it through Splunk I don't get the generated XML files as I usually do (when I run it in the console) in the same folder where the script is located.
Where do those XML files go? I can't find them,
Thanks!
We need more information. How is the XML file created? How is the file path specified? How is the file populated? Do you see any errors in Splunk's python.log file?
It is created with Element Tree module in Python. Usually, when you run it from a console (I personally use Visual Studio Code), the XML file is written/generated in the same folder as the script itself (.py). Although, when I put the script in "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/myapp/bin" folder and run it with Splunk, the script is running but the XML file is not generated.
Please elaborate on "run it with Splunk" and say what you found in python.log.
By "Run with Splunk" I mean to run as a custom scripted input (settings > data inputs > scripts). I'm not sure where to find python.log.
The python log is at $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/python.log. Or, in SPL, index=_internal source=*python.log
