I am getting this error when running my script as a scripted input:

05-07-2018 10:28:00.177 -0500 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "/opt/splunk/bin/scripts/pingdomtest" \r 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0\r100 723 0 723 0 0 842 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 842\r100 8666 0 8666 0 0 8345 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 8348

My inputs .conf looks like this:
[script://$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts/pingdomtest]
disabled = false
index = test
interval = 120
source = ./pingdomtest
sourcetype = json_no_timestamp

I have run the script by itself and it is working and getting the data down from pingdom.

Thanks!

Try running the script from the command line as Splunk like so:

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd /opt/splunk/bin/scripts/pingdomtest
