How can I include both date and time with an emailed PDF attachment?

Hi,

I am able to send email (with pdf attachment) from the Splunk to my mail server.
PDF attached has got a name with date.
How can I have a PDF with both date and timestamp?
Any changes need to be done in sendEmail.py?

It would be great if somebody could help me here.

Thanks,
Jitendra

You can update the sendemail.py under etc/apps/search/bin directory to change the same. Go to line number 1033 (under function generatePDF). The current line will be like this

datestamp = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

Replace the time format string with your choosing.

Please note that with upgrade of Splunk, the changes will get overwritten.

Hi,

I tried replacing the above datestamp.
But, still I don't see any change in final received mail.
It is still the same.

Regards,
Jitendra
