How do I write a SPLUNK HF configuration to run Python Scripts?

Hello,

I have 2 Python scripts need to be run inside (hfscritps-1.py and hfscritps-2.py ) SPLUNK HF everyday at 5am ET. Scripts are required to import modules (import os and from datetime import date); how would I configure my SPLUNK  HF (or Python Scripts) to perform these tasks. Any help/recommendation will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

You can set them up as scripted input on your HF (Splunk Enterprise version installed).

Hello,

Thank you so much for your quick response. But the main objective of those 2 scripts is to parse some source files and send the file in a folder so, SPLUNK HF can push those files from that folder to the indexer (i.e., ingest the parsed files). Do you think, it's going to work? Any help/recommendation will be highly appreciated. Thank you!
