Hello,

My questions is about Splunk Entreprise, Clustering and Script with SDK Python.
I want add some datas in some indexes which are on a cluster.

Architecture: 1 forwarder + 5 nodes + 3 searcheads + 1 master

I don't know where to run some scripts like submit.py
It's necessary my data be in cluster.

How do i configure my .splunkrc and where execute scripts ?

Thanks for your help.

Oxthon 🙂

Hi @oxthon

If you want to run custom scripts it's a best practice to setup a heavy forwarder which can be a central place to do so. Just configure this to send the data to the indexers like you would with any other universal forwarder.

Good luck
