It is I guess, but it would be inefficent compared to the command that already exists for this which is why people are commending you to use that instead. ... View more

WebSphere Process Server (as you probably already know) sits on top of WebSphere Application Server. Splunk has recently released a Splunk App that will assist in the monitoring of generic WAS, partly through the use of JMX beans. From a Splunk perspective, this is a scripted input that connects to WebSphere and periodically polls various MBeans inside the WAS JVM using the WSAdmin jython interface. There is more info on the Splunk for Websphere app at http://www.splunkbase.com/apps/All/4.x/App/app:Splunk+for+WebSphere+Application+Server . What you are wanting to do is definitely possible, as long as WebSphere Process Server exposes the MBeans you are looking to poll and index. But, I don't think the stock set of MBeans polled by Splunk would be exhaustive for a Process Server environment -- so some customization of the Splunk for WebSphere app would probably be required to really get to where you want to be. But, much of the framework is already built for your use. ... View more

This is too specific and vague to answer. I think you should become more familiar with more general abilities of Splunk (asking general questions as necessary here) rather than simply posting your low-level requirements, which doesn't let us know any context about what level of detail the answers should be in. For example, the high-level answer would be "index your file into Splunk and query for the order number". But I'm sure that's not the point. ... View more
