Splunk® Enterprise

Developing Views and Apps for Splunk Web

Modular inputs examples

These examples use Python for the scripting language. However, you can use various other scripting languages to implement modular inputs.

Note: Splunk Universal Forwarder, unlike other Splunk instances, does not provide a Python interpreter. In this case, to run these examples you may need to install Python on the server if one is not already available.


Twitter example

The Twitter example streams JSON data from a Twitter source to the Splunk platform for indexing.

Note: The example uses Tweepy, a Python library, to access the Twitter source. Tweepy libraries must be available to the Splunk Twitter example script, twitter.py. To run the example, download and install Tweepy.


Twitter example script

Place the twitter.py script in the following location in your Splunk installation: 

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/twitter/bin/twitter.py

Refer to Scripts for modular inputs for analysis of specific parts of the script. This script has been made cross-compatible with Python 2 and Python 3 using python-future.

Twitter example spec file

Place the following spec file in the following location:

inputs.conf.spec 

[twitter://default]
*This is how the Twitter app is configured

username = <value>
*This is the user's twitter username/handle

password = <value>
*This is the user's password used for logging into twitter

Sample JSON input for the Twitter example

Here is an example of the JSON input from Twitter that the Twitter example indexes:

S3 example

The S3 example provides for streaming data from the Amazon S3 data storage service. A more robust version of this capability is available in the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services on Splunkbase.


Place the s3.py script in the following location in your Splunk installation: 

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/s3/bin
Note: A script for modular inputs requires an inputs.conf spec file to operate correctly in Splunk Web. Refer to Modular Inputs spec file for information on creating the inputs.conf spec file.

s3.py reads files in various formats and streams data from the files for indexing by Splunk software. Specific areas of interest for modular inputs are the following:

  • Connects to S3 services, providing an Access Key ID and a Secret Access Key
  • Sets up logging to splunkd.log
  • Provides an XML scheme for use by Splunk Manager
  • Provides a --scheme argument that returns the XML scheme for the modular inputs
  • Validates data returned from S3
  • Specifies streaming mode as xml

S3 example script

The following example script, s3.py, provides for streaming data from the Amazon S3 data storage service. s3.py is presented in its entirety below. Refer to Scripts for modular inputs for analysis of specific parts of the script. This script has been made cross-compatible with Python 2 and Python 3 using python-future.
