Extracting Data from Website

Hi,

I have a requirement in a project of extracting the data from a website to make a metrics report.
How do I extract data from a website in splunk

Thanks in advance !!

You could write a scripted input for that, possibly using some wget calls underneath to simplify the HTTP requests.

Same path. Write a scripted input that calls your website (e.g. using wget), do some preprocessing if necessary, index that into splunk.
