How to read stanza from local app.conf pragmatically in a modular input python?

[elephant]

I have some configurations in local app.conf and I would like to read them pragmatically. before streaming events

How to do it using python?

Thanks!

Your custom modular input script class should inherit from splunklib.modularinput
But you cannot access the service object in __init__, only in stream_events() onwards as thats when your code receives the payload from Splunk to construct the Service object.

You can use service object at the beginning of your stream_events(inputs, ew):
   stanza = self.service.confs["app"]

Thank you

And how do you read properties from it?

I was looking in the documents you have attached and could not find reference to self.service.confs object... 

could you please attach an example of how to read a specific prop from a specific stanza?

Than you
