RSS Scripted Input

This is a simple application to take the content of any RSS feed and index its metadata (date, title, link, and description) into Splunk. A scripted input calls rss.sh once a day, which in turn, calls the supplied open source Python library, feedparser, to gather the rss feeds. RSS feeds are supplied via a file passed on the command line. A sample file, feeds.txt, is provided for testing. This TA uses the open source feedparser from https://pypi.org/project/feedparser for its RSS parser. In version 2.0 and above, you can use the optional rssfeed2.py to avoid duplicates in the last 48 hours. You should only enable rssfeed.py or rssfeed2.py, not both for same feeds! See the README.txt for details. Installation: Gunzip and un tar the distirbution into $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps and read the README.txt
