Splunk doesnt support Ruby scripts out of the box. You have a few options though.

1. You can wrap your ruby code in a powershell script and setup the powershell script as a scripted input.
   
2. You can wrap your ruby code in a batch script and setup the batch script as a scripted input.
3. You can wrap your ruby code in a python script and setup the python script as a scripted input.

See inputs.conf for configuring scripted inputs.

How do you wrap a script you may ask?

In c:\run_my_ruby.bat you might do this:
c:\path\to\your\ruby.exe your_ruby_code.rb

Then in Splunk inputs.conf you could do this

[script://c:\run_my_ruby.bat]
interval = 60

Then restart splunk and profit. This would execute c:\run_my_ruby.bat every 60s from when splunk is restarted. Check inputs.conf for other interval options.

have you tried using this app to use R
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3339/
personally, I haven't tried using R in Splunk, but I'm not sure if there is a way to save the code in Splunk itself

In this R-app in which folder i can specify/paste my r-code

I'm not entirely sure, since I haven't used the app myself. the documentation in splunkbase didn't work for me, but I think it's referring to this, if it helps:
