The following settings are required:

• script_name : Name of the script to be executed.
• collection_interval : (default = 60s) how often the script should be executed

The following settings are optional:

• source : source of the event
• sourcetype : sourcetype of the event
• multiline : how the standard output of the script is split, works exactly the same way as the multiline setting of filelog receiver Example:

receivers:
  scripted_inputs/df:
    script_name: df
    collection_interval: 10s
    source: df
    sourcetype: df
    multiline:
      line_end_pattern: '\n'
