Good morning to you too. Well i think you have some more question / issues other than the original one (asked here) ? Your "original" problem looked quiet similar to mine, That is my "views" / "template" was not rendered and or showed me only a ; 404 Not Found Return to Splunk home page The path '/en-US/test/' was not found.

This message comes up when your code inside views.py / render_to , are screwed up. This can either be bad code or the wrong formatting .. remember python is kinda of nazi about the code formatting. Otherwise in the example you have given above your for-loop in your template looks good. Based on your comment this morning, this question here is resolved (by yourself?) ? I have solved my problems i had yesterday, which was based on "bad code formatting" inside views.py, and due to not really understand the templates > urls > views connections better. Since then i have attempted to run some external / custom scripts etc and generate the results back into the template . Which i have seen to come around by putting the following inside views.py; import sys sys.path.append('modules/') import listFiles Which makes it possible for you to create your own modules and load them into "splunk / django" ...

OK, you have to excuse me for being a newbie at all these things. However ... what do you want to accomplish ? Do you want to create /render a "view" generate some output into a splunk template? Are you trying to connect to splunk over its python api/sdk stuff , list all the csv files , save it into file_data ?

so we are in the same boat (at least now:P ) ok .. (the comments are to short for me to post this ... hopefully helpful for someone ) (for people coming in and reading) I have created a new page timedemo.html , which can contain any content, or without . I edited urls.py rlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^home/$', 'test.views.home', name='home'), url(r'^pythondemo/$', 'test.views.pythondemo_view', name='pythondemo'), url(r'^timedemo/$', 'test.views.timedemo_view', name='timedemo'), ) With a simple yank and paste .

You might need to put your code more "inline" that is add a tab to the beginning of the code Example (compare to your pasted code above; @render_to('mynewapp:mypage.html') @login_required def mypage_view(request): file_data = '' service = request.service with open(csvfile, "r+") as lines: for line in lines: file_data += line return file_data } or Similar.

These are two very interesting apps. If you did check the documentations tab, you will find detailed information about them both, and at least in the case of "Splunk synthetic App" the procedure on how to configure them. The "splunk synthetic app" is dependent on Selenium, which is a open source tool for web browser automation (as per the homepage) ; http://www.seleniumhq.org . So to be able to use the "splunk syntethic app" you need to get to know selenium. There should already be a lot of different automated tasks for you, but you would preferable need to "record" the ones that are interesting for your environment. I would guess that "Automation testing - Synthetic transactions" has the same kind of, if not the same decency (ie. selenium) I have not used any off them (yet) .. I would probably go for the one with the best doku 😉 and i also think selenium is a good / safe bet if you wanna go open source, so use these apps to set up selenium as inputs as per doku and then build the dashboards needed for your syntethic testing 🙂 ...

No there is no "default / standard" source type for Qnap (maybe the "regular" syslog?) Well the source type in this case can be whatever you want it to be, as well as for the index. The important thing is that you have a clear communications path between your devices. If your qnap is hosted of site, you might need to open a couple of ports in the firewall for it to be able to send data to splunk. In short terms, create an index in splunk (qnap) , create an new udp input (port:10514) assign this new input a source type ('qnap-syslog') and also assign this input an index (qnap) . Now configure your Qnap to send its syslog to splunk:10514 . In Splunk search issue; index=qnap . Make sure your index is in searchable by your user. Make sure there is no firewalls in between. The docs WILL help you. (take your time to read them) ... View more
