Hello Team,
I have a sh script (alarm/action) which acts as a wrapper to python script.

I have several problems with splunk python libraries, followed:
https://answers.splunk.com/answers/8/can-i-add-python-modules-to-the-splunk-environment.html
Did not help at all.
But only:
copy of /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

to

/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

Helped a bit. Now my python script fails on SSL connections with error:

File "/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 506, in send
raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='xxxx.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /incident.do?JSONv2 (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.",))'

What can i do now ?

I can execute my python script without any problems from SSH, it's just a problems when executed from Splunk....

Thanks,
