Hello Splunkers. I'm trying to build a modular-input to index my XML files, using Python. I will wonder if some one can help me with the pithon file.
Thanks in advance
There are likely to be many people here you can help you with specific Python questions.
To build modular inputs in Python have a look at http://dev.splunk.com/view/python-sdk/SP-CAAAER3
However you may be able to achieve what you need without building a modular input, for example if the XML is created as a file in a directory, you could poll the file and index the XML without needing to create the modular input. Also looking at Splunkbase (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/) there are several technical methods to collect data, i.e. JMS, MQTT, AMQP, etc that you may also be able to use.
Hello msivill. I know that i can index the file without building a modular input.
but my goal is to build a modular-input that can do it.
Thanks
