};Returns a splunkjs.Service object for this script invocation.
The service object is created from the Splunkd URI and session key passed to the command invocation on the modular input stream. It is available as soon as the ModularInput.streamEvents function is called.
A Splunkjs.Service Object, or null if you call this function before the ModularInput.streamEvents function is called.
