serverclass_converter.py

Purpose

I am converting a set of standard serverclass files into CSV-type files for a customer. Creating all of those CSV files manually sounded awful, so this will do all of the tedious work for me.

System Requirements

This app was written in Python 3.x. PRs to make it work in Python 2.7 or below are weclome.

Usage

usage: serverclass_converter [-h] [-d] [-f CONFIG] [-s] [-a APP]

Convert serverclass white/blacklist entries into CSV files.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                    show this help message and exit
  -d, --debug                   Enable debug logging.
  -f CONFIG, --config CONFIG    serverclass.conf configuration to process.
  -a APP, --app APP             App name for serverclass.conf output lookup files.
                                Defaults to app_serverclass.

Output

A valid Splunk app will be created in the current directory. It will be named after the --app option value. If you have a stanza "[serverClass:ServerList]", you will end up with two CSV files: ServerList.csv and ServerList_blacklist.csv. There will be a header row with the field name "host".

A serverclass.conf file will be created in local with the following content. The app name is the same as what is used to create the current app directory.

[serverClass:ServerList]
whitelist.from_pathname = etc/apps/app_serverclass/lookups/ServerList.csv
whitelist.select_field = host
blacklist.from_pathname = etc/apps/app_serverclass/lookups/ServerList_blacklist.csv
blacklist.select_field = host

Caveats

This program assumes you are feeding it a serverclass.conf that is valid for use in the Forwarder Management GUI of Splunk. No funny stuff.
