Getting Data In

passing source script file name in another field before indexing

DataOrg
Builder

i have a script which will be executed from inputs.conf but i need the script file name in a new field instead of source tag.
since i have a default source name configured. i want to add script file(source script) Name to the data indexed in the new field.

[script:///$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/KIO/bin/Stats.py]
    interval = * * * * *
    source = siebel
    sourcetype = inflowstats
    disabled = False 
    index = index1
    host=server1
    Script=ScriptName

@to4kawa I tried this and not getting any results.

transforms.conf
 [myeval]
 INGEST_EVAL = ScriptName=python_script

 INDEXED = True

INGEST_EVAL is eval
use "
and in props.conf, class name is needed.

@to4kawa is this correct to extract from source? i want to extract the file name alone. i want regex for this. please help

[extract-source]
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Source
FORMAT = job_id::$2
WRITE_META = true

source path will be etc/apps/bin/python.py

worked by adding default value in inputs.conf directly.
[script://path/your_script.py]
_meta = script_name::abc.py
