Introduction
The input page stores configuration information for data collection. Multiple inputs can be created on the Inputs page.
Developers are required to add services in the global config file to create a new Input. If multiple services are provided, a dropdown field will appear on the Inputs page. In contrast, a button will be displayed for a single service.
Properties¶
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title* | string | - |
| description | string | It provides a brief summary of an inputs page. |
| subDescription | object | It provides broader description of an inputs page. |
| menu | object | This property allows you to enable the custom menu feature. |
| table | object | It displays input stanzas in a tabular format. |
| groupsMenu | array | This property allows you to enable the multi-level menu feature. |
| services* | array | It specifies a list of modular inputs. |
| readonlyFieldId | string | A field of the boolean entity that UCC checks for each input. If the field’s value is truthful, the corresponding input cannot be edited from the UI. There is no way to change this from the UI; it is supposed to be changed via REST. |
| hideFieldId | string | A field of the boolean entity that UCC checks for each input. If the field’s value is truthful, the corresponding input is hidden from the UI. There is no way to change this from the UI; it is supposed to be changed via REST. Check out an example below. |

| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

| options | object | This property allows you to enable the saveValidator feature. |
| hook | object | It is used to add custom behaviour to forms. Visit the Custom Hook page to learn more. |
| warning | object | It is used to add the custom warning message for each of the modes of ‘create’, ‘edit’, ‘config’, and ‘clone’. The message is displayed on the form. |
| inputHelperModule | string | A module that contains validate_input and stream_events methods. By default it is not used. |
| conf | string | Configuration name for a rest handler. |
| restHandlerName | string | It specify name of the REST handler script, that provides fields, models and validators for the fields supported under the specified input and any specific actions to be performed on CRUD operations for the given input. (Do NOT use with restHandlerModule or restHandlerClass) |
| restHandlerModule | string | It specify name of the REST handler script that implements the custom actions to be performed on CRUD operations for the given input. (Use with restHandlerClass) |
| restHandlerClass | string | It specify name of the class present in the restHandlerModule, which implements methods like handleCreate, handleEdit, handleList, handleDelete and is child class of splunktaucclib.rest_handler.admin_external.AdminExternalHandler. (Use with restHandlerModule) |
