Using Anaconda with Splunk to ingest Python script

EricLloyd79

I have to use the library PySNMP to retrieve MiBs and ingest them in Splunk with Python.
I have been given clearance on the production server to install Anaconda and create an environment with PySNMP in it in order to do this. That being said, this makes sense cause I was informed i should not add or remove libraries from the native Splunk Python install.
How can I use the Anaconda environment Python version to run the scripts that I put in the Splunk UI to have data ingestion. I know if it was a separate Python install, I could just point to the Python version I want to use at the top but since its in an environment now, Im not sure what I can do.
Thanks

Take a look at the MLTK SA add ons.

It uses exactly this method to ship an anaconda python environment and load it using the TA.

Do you mean you want to ingest the MIBs into Splunk using Anaconda/Python, or collect them with Anaconda/Python and then ingest into Splunk?
