Parameters:

fieldName - The name of the field to fetch.

Returns:

The field.

setServerHost

public void setServerHost(String serverHost)

Sets the name of the server on which this modular input is being run.

Parameters:

serverHost - String value

getServerHost

public String getServerHost()

Gets the name of the server on which this modular input is being run.

Returns:

The name of the server on which this modular input is being run.

setServerUri

public void setServerUri(String serverUri)

Sets the URI to reach the server on which this modular input is being run.

Parameters:

serverUri - The URI to reach the server on which this modular input is being run.

getServerUri

public String getServerUri()

Gets the URI to the server on which this modular input is being run.

Returns:

The URI to the server on which this modular input is being run.

setCheckpointDir

public void setCheckpointDir(String checkpointDir)

Sets the path to which to write checkpoint files.

Parameters:

checkpointDir - The path to which to write checkpoint files.

getCheckpointDir

public String getCheckpointDir()

Gets the path to which to write checkpoint files for restarting inputs.

Returns:

The path to which to write checkpoint files for restarting inputs.

setSessionKey

public void setSessionKey(String sessionKey)

Sets a session key that can be used to access splunkd's REST API.

sessionKey - A session key that can be used to access splunkd's REST API.

getSessionKey

public String getSessionKey()

Sets a session providing access to splunkd's REST API on this host.

Returns:

A session key providing access to splunkd's REST API on this host.

addInput

public void addInput(String name,
                     Collection<Parameter> parameters)

Adds an input to the set of inputs on this InputDefinition.

Parameters:

name - The name of this input (e.g., foobar://this-input-name).

parameters - A collection of Parameter objects giving the settings for this input.

getInputs

public Map<String,Map<String,Parameter>> getInputs()

Returns:

A map of all the inputs specified in this InputDefinition.

parseDefinition

public static InputDefinition parseDefinition(InputStream stream)
                                       throws ParserConfigurationException,
                                              IOException,
