How to identify Stream_event function is called at time interval or during create/edit data input.

Can you give more information about this? Is this function part of a library, or app, or base Splunk functionality?

Hi @marnall , 
We are using Splunk python sdk in our App to configured custom data inputs. Please check below link for reference.

Issue here is during creation or editing data input Stream_event function is called and it called after specific interval of time as well like each 15 min. We need to identify in Stream_event function from where it gets called, so accordingly we have 2 different algorithm to execute.
