I was expecting to find a helper object function for this, but I don't see one here:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddonBuilder/4.1.1/UserGuide/PythonHelperFunctions
I want to use the DNS name/URL of the search head in my alert action code. How can this be accessed (Splunk cloud, if it matters)? At least in my local test server, I see this, but it returns an IP address, not a DNS name.
helper.settings["server_uri"]
This was suggested to me by a colleague (reading the email alert action link hostname) . This works nicely for me inside AOB code:
from splunk.clilib import cli_common as cli
def process_event(helper, *args, **kwargs):
alert_actions_config = cli.getMergedConf("alert_actions")
alert_actions_hostname = alert_actions_config.get("email", {}).get("hostname", None)
if alert_actions_hostname:
helper.log_debug("Alert action hostname: {}".format(alert_actions_hostname))
Hi
will splunk_server be your answer?
At least rest return it for me
| rest splunk_server=local /services/server/sysinfo f=splunk_server
| table splunk_server
Of course if you have set it to something else then it didn't work.

I'm afraid that returns the actual hostname, not the DNS name used for the UI and API.
