DataOrg

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

 INGEST_EVAL = ScriptName=python_script

 INDEXED = True

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

[extract-source]
SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Source

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