Which script types can Splunk run for Scripted Inputs?

C# only
.sh and .bat files only
.bat, .ps1, and .py files only
.sh, .bat, .ps1, and .py files

The correct answer is: .sh, .bat, .ps1, and .py files

Splunk can run various script types for Scripted Inputs, including shell scripts, batch files, PowerShell scripts, and Python scripts. This capability allows Splunk to collect data from different environments and platforms efficiently. The inclusion of .sh files covers Unix/Linux environments, where shell scripting is heavily utilized for automation tasks. .bat files are specific to Windows environments, allowing for batch job execution. PowerShell scripts (.ps1) extend this functionality in Windows by offering a more powerful scripting environment tailored for system administration and automation. Python scripts (.py) are versatile and can run on multiple platforms, often used for complex data processing or interacting with APIs. Thus, having all these script types enabled gives Splunk the flexibility to gather and manage data from diverse sources and operating systems, making it a comprehensive solution for data ingestion and processing.
