Hi, Below article gives python script to extract database using SQL query. However can we write UNIX shell script instead Python Script?
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.0/AdvancedDev/ScriptExample
"You can use shell scripts, python scripts, Windows batch files, PowerShell, or any other utility that can format and stream the data that you want to index." https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.0/AdvancedDev/ScriptedInputsIntro
Hope that helps 🙂
Thanks. Referred the same. Will try to implement incremental logic in UNIX shell script same as Python. Any document for shell script will help.
Why not just leverage the Splunk App for Database Connectivity to do the same?

There are some hardware resources issue for using heavy forwarder for DB2 connect. Thats why using script.
