I've written a little python one-liner that basically calls showmount -a with an argv array at the end and my goal is to be able to feed it a list of hosts and get the showmount output for each host.
if I do:
| showmount
this works
if I do
host=pattern* | showmount host
nothing happens.
this is the extent of my oneliner:
subprocess.call(['showmount', '-a', sys.argv[1]])
What can I do to make this actually show me a list per host with each host being an event?
Make sure you have the command listed in transforms.conf with the input of 'host'
If you do, then it will only take the field named 'host' unless you use the following example:
<search> | showmount host as <your_input_field>
