If you have Splunk Enterprise, you can run an alert script when an alert triggers. Select Run a script from the Add Actions menu. Enter the file name of the script that you want to run.

For example, you can configure an alert to run a script that generates a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap notification. The script sends the notification to another system such as a Network Systems Management console. You can configure a different alert that runs a script that calls an API, which in turn sends the triggering event to another system.

For details on alert script configuration in savedsearches.conf for a shell script or batch file that you create, see Configure scripted alerts in this manual.
