I'm using powershell to get a web page in order to keep track my service status.
I tested my script which can write the whole page into local file without problem.
Then I changed to write it to $SPLUNK_HOME/var/spool/splunk

Can anyone tell there's any setting affecting spool indexing behavior?
Thanks!!
If you need to blast a few files into splunk using a script, then just use add oneshot

I should go for [batch://] indeed.
Thank you for your advice!
Yes, that will delete after sending, if you configure it properly.
Why would you ever write to $SPLUNK_HOME
at all, especially var
? Please point us to splunk docs that describes the way you are using this directory (which so far as I know is for internal use regarding primarily summary indexing).
I thought writing file to spool is the easiest way if I don't want to keep the file after indexing. Ok, seems I shouldn't use without good knowledge.
There is another story about powershell... I initially wanted to get the page through stdin/out. I failed to, so I wrote the html content into file first
Maybe it is a thing now. Show the the docs page.
