Class Scheme

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.splunk.modularinput.Scheme

public class Scheme
extends java.lang.Object

The Scheme class represents the metadata for a modular input kind. A Scheme specifies a title, description, several options of how Splunk should run modular inputs of this kind, and a set of arguments which define a particular modular input's properties. The primary use of Scheme is to abstract away the construction of XML to feed to Splunk.

isUseExternalValidation

public boolean isUseExternalValidation()
Returns whether Splunk should use the modular input kind script to validate the arguments of a particular modular input or use the validation predicates specified by the arguments.

Returns:
true if Splunk should use the modular input kind script to validate the arguments of a particular modular input, false if it should use the validation predicates specified by the arguments.

setUseExternalValidation

public void setUseExternalValidation(boolean useExternalValidation)
Specifies whether Splunk should use the modular input kind script to validate the arguments of a particular modular input (true) or use the validation predicates specified by the arguments (false).
