Hi @jadengoho,

Well Yes you can do it by following these steps.

1) Create a endpoint in Splunk app which handle the HTTP request from client side and update the python file using requested value. For updating python file and executing it refer python file handling examples and for executing python refer subprocess example.

2) Create a javascript which call the Splunk endpoint and handle response.

Well, I'm not sure about to change a python script value is safe or efficient for your requirement but I suggest you can handle your all dynamic value in any config file OR property file which can be used in python code as a value parameter. So my suggetsed steps are:

1) Create a endpoint in Splunk app which handle the HTTP request from client side and update the config or property file using requested value. For updating the config or property file refer python file handling examples and for executing python refer subprocess example.

2) Create a javascript which call the Splunk endpoint and handle response.

Let me know if any difficulties in executing these steps.

HI @kamlesh_vaghela,
is it possible to have a java script code that change the endpoints for example the macro.
as of now i have a python code this :

from splunklib.client import connect
service = connect(username="admin", password="changeme", host="localhost", app="ml_churn")
service.post('properties/macros/SAMPLE', definition="4")
print service.get('properties/macros/SAMPLE/definition')["body"]

is it possible to run this code JAVASCRIPT ?
