Hello,
I would like to send a CSV file to Splunk, I would like to send it via a TCP request, from a python script.
I have the webhook input module, but it only seems to work with JSON. I tried with TCP input. but headers are not recognized as such, and I can't reconstruct the CSV array. Here is the python code used:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((SPLUNK, PORT))
s.send(my_csv)
Is there a way to correctly send CSV file via python from a socket, or another method?
I specify that my CSV file manually imported into Splunk works. I also configured TCP input with as source type CSV, and app context = computing (I don't know what this corresponds to)
Finally is it possible to use webhook input with CSV and how do I do it in python?
This python code worked perfectly for sending JSON.
response = requests.post(
splunk_webhook, data=format(my_JSON),
headers={'Content-Type':'application/json'}
)
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely
Thanks starcher ! I'm gonna do it this way.
I just need to know the roles needed to access HEC from the web interface to make the request to the dedicated team.
Do you know the roles needed to configure and generate tokens from the splunk enterprise web interface?
thank you
Read your file in python, send to Splunk via http event collector.
Best to keep it json within python and send it that way.
