Does Splunk 6.4.1 support .7z extension? If it doesn't, is there anyway to write a script to be able to load .7z files?

Hi,
What do you want to do with 7z files? Splunk does support reading compressed file, but what are the contents? There is a very easy way if doesn't read, just trigger the 7z exe to unzip the files to a location from where splunk can read them

Thanks,
L
