I am trying to launch some batch file but UF don't want to do this.
My input.cong contain:
[script://.\bin\script\LogCheck.bat 2018-07]
disabled = 0
interval = 300
index = werrorindex
sourcetype = sql_audit

2018-07 is a parametr of launch the batch
If I use in cmd LogCheck.bat 2018-07 it works fine.
Help me please to find the issue..

So, I can start bat file,
But I have another issue now. Bat file start ok when I start it by myself. When I restart UF, he try to start bat file. AS per splunkd.log it start then create a files but after some jobs with those files the files doesn't copy to folder where located UF. If I start again by myself, the csript will do all jobs which indicated in bat file. It seems that universal forward can't do any command in bat file or maybe UF need additional NTFS permission. How can I check this? I can't see any error info in splunkd.log

So, I tried to use this code:
[script://$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\SQL_Failed_logon\bin\script\LogCheck.bat]
disabled = 0
interval = 300
sourcetype = SQL_Audit

and if I insert a code into LogChecked.bat as:

echo This is a test > "C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\log\splunk\test.txt"
echo 123 >> "C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\log\splunk\test.txt"
echo 245.67 >> "C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\log\splunk\test.txt"

It.s work fine.

But if I insert a code into LogChecked.bat as:

@Echo Off

@type outlog%V%.txt >> SumLog.txt

@del Errorlog*
@del outlog%V%.txt
:@del out.*

It doesn't work. How can I check what happened in splunk and why this is not work?
If I start this code throught cmd it works.

Hey@atyshke1,

I think the issue is with the path of the script .Instead of .\ it should be $SPLUNK_HOME or the splunk home path.
Refer this link:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.2/AdvancedDev/ScriptSetup

Let me know if this helps!!

I tried this:

[script://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SQL_Failed_logon/bin/script/log.bat]
disabled = 0
interval = 300
index = werrorindex
sourcetype = sql_audit

But it didn't help
I created a log.bat for test with simple code:

echo This is a test > "C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\SQL_Failed_logon\bin\script\test.txt"
echo 123 >> "C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\SQL_Failed_logon\bin\script\test.txt"
echo 245.67 >> "C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\SQL_Failed_logon\bin\script\test.txt"
