Error when I run custom Python script from one server to another sever using cURL.
Error message in the CLI is this:
"Search Factory: Unknown search command"

Why this does not work from a Linux myServer2?
curl -k -u 'myUser:myPwd' https://myServer1:8089/services/search/jobs/export -d search=" | makeresults | myScript " -d output_mode=csv

But OK for search = " | makeresults | eval myVal=777 "
And OK for search = " | makeresults | sendemail to=\"myMail@myCompany.com\" subject=\"test_from_cli\" "
And OK for myScript if I run it from Splunk search box from myServer1 itself.

Splunk Enterprise version 6.5.2

The commands.conf:
[myScript]
filename = myScript.py

SOLVED. OK.
OMG. Again it's about .../local.meta file. Hate it 🙂

I needed simply to add this stanza:

[commands/mySrcipt]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, power ]
export = system
owner = myUsername

I saw this issue https://answers.splunk.com/answers/521046/can-rest-api-be-used-to-execute-a-python-script-on.html?ch...

But it does not help.

And the problem remains if myServer1 == myServer2.
