Can you please check your script by executing below command? Does it gives you expected OP or any error.

./splunk cmd python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/bin/dockesd.py

after executing ./splunk cmd.

i am getting below warning message with output.

What does "unable to execute mean"?  What errors does Splunk log for the input?

Does os.system write to stdout?  If not, then Splunk will not index anything.

@richgalloway even after printing output. i dont see ouput indexing into splunk. if i use plain shell script its indexing data

import commands
output = commands.getstatusoutput('docker ps --format "table {{ .Image }},{{.ID}},{{.Command}},{{.CreatedAt }},{{.Status }},{{.Ports }},{{.Names}}"')
print(output)

Again I ask what error(s) is Splunk reporting?

Please tell us how you told Splunk to run this script.
