RSS Scripted Input

This app is NOT supported by Splunk. Please read about what that means for you here.
Overview
Details
This is a simple application to take the content of any RSS feed and index its metadata (date, title, link, and description) into Splunk. A scripted input calls rss.sh once a day, which in turn, calls the supplied open source Python library, feedparser, to gather the rss feeds. RSS feeds are supplied via a file passed on the command line. A sample file, feeds.txt, is provided for testing.

This TA uses the open source feedparser from https://pypi.org/project/feedparser for its RSS parser. In version 2.0 and above, you can use the optional rssfeed2.py to avoid duplicates in the last 48 hours. You should only enable rssfeed.py or rssfeed2.py, not both for same feeds! See the README.txt for details.


Installation:

Gunzip and un tar the distirbution into $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps and read the README.txt

Gunzip and un tar the distirbution into $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps

Copy default/inputs.conf to your app's local directory and enable the input.
You may also configure the interval to be longer or shorter.

Copy the content of bin into your app's bin directory. Change feeds.txt file
to use your own RSS inputs as the samples are provided for testing.
Restart Splunk.

Note: if you do not copy of any of the files from thie TA to your own folders,
the TA will run on it's own with the default settings collecting RSS feeds
from the RSS URLs in feeds.txt.

Because the meta data has key=value for each event, the fields will already
be extracted to be used for further processing in Splunk. If you timestamp is
different than what is in default/props.conf copy props.conf to a new local
directory under the same rss directory and change props.conf to match your
timestamp.

To saerch for data within Splunk, use a command like this:

index=<name of your index> sourcetype=rssfeed|dedup link

The link is deduped as the same feed may be re-indexed if it is in the listing
every 24 hours. There is also a workflow action after you receive results in
the link field called "Read Article"

Release Notes

Version 3.0.2
March 27, 2022

Minor fix. Continue to use Python 3.x and new open source Feedparser that works in Python 3.x.
