Bug: Unable to find the file

[tanmoyio]

Describe the bug index.upload() couldn't find the file (tried both relative and absolute path)

To Reproduce

import os
import splunklib.client as client

def splunk_connector(username, password, host):
    try:
        service = client.connect(host=host, username=username, password=password)
        if service:
            print("Splunk connection established")
        return service

    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

def splunk_write(service, idx):
    indexes = service.indexes
    all_indexes_name = [index.name for index in indexes]

    if idx not in all_indexes_name:
        service_index = service.indexes.create(idx)
    else:
        service_index = service.indexes[idx]

    service_index.upload('/home/misha/out.txt')

service = splunk_connector(
        username=os.environ["USERNAME"],
        password=os.environ["PASSWORD"],
        host=os.environ["HOST"]
)

splunk_write(service, idx)

Expected behavior It should grab the file content and upload it to selected index

Hi @tanmoyio , To upload file it must be locally accessible from the server (ref), hence we would request you to upload the file to the Splunk instance and pass the absolute path(i.e opt/splunk/) as argument, let us know if you still face the issue.
