#Owntracks to Splunk's Http Event Collector
Version: 0.1
I decided to try and build a simple script after seeing mqttwarn (https://github.com/jpmens/mqttwarn)
This code is presented AS IS under MIT license.
##Description:
This python script reads owntracks data off an MQTT topic and post the events to a Splunk http event collector.
##Supported product(s):
- Splunk v6.3.X
###Requirements:
A MQTT server with Owntracks data you want to get into Splunk of course.
paho-mqtt (pip install paho-mqtt)
dotenv (pip install dotenv)
George Starcher's Splunk-Class-httpevent
###Configuration:
You will need to copy .env.sample to .env and the edit the file to match your environment.
##Notes:
I built this little script because I wanted to push Owntracks events from my MQTT server to Splunk. And while there is a modular input for MQTT, I wanted to break out the topic before I sent the data to Splunk. While this was made for a specific topic (owntracks), you could easily modify it for any MQTT topic.
