- This is the most up-to-date book on Splunk 6.3 for developers
- Get ahead of being just a Splunk user and start creating custom Splunk applications as per your needs
- Your one-stop-solution to Splunk application development
Splunk provides a platform that allows you to search data stored on a machine, analyze it, and visualize the analyzed data to make informed decisions. The adoption of Splunk in enterprises is huge, and it has a wide range of customers right from Adobe to Dominos. Using the Splunk platform as a user is one thing, but customizing this platform and creating applications specific to your needs takes more than basic knowledge of the platform.
This book will dive into developing Splunk applications that cater to your needs of making sense of data and will let you visualize this data with the help of stunning dashboards.
This book includes everything on developing a full-fledged Splunk application right from designing to implementing to publishing. We will design the fundamentals to build a Splunk application and then move on to creating one. During the course of the book, we will cover application data, objects, permissions, and more. After this, we will show you how to enhance the application, including branding, workflows, and enriched data. Views, dashboards, and web frameworks are also covered.
This book will showcase everything new in the latest version of Splunk including the latest data models, alert actions, XML forms, various dashboard enhancements, and visualization options (with D3). Finally, we take a look at the latest Splunk cloud applications, advanced integrations, and development as per the latest release.
What you will learn- Implement a Modular Input and a custom D3 data visualization
- Create a directory structure and set view permissions
- Create a search view and a dashboard view using advanced XML modules
- Enhance your application using eventtypes, tags, and macros
- Package a Splunk application using best practices
- Publish a Splunk application to the Splunk community

I'd like to thank my wife who most graciously put up with all my BS during the writing of this book. Without her, this effort is meaningless.
Marco Scala has been working for more than 15 years delivering solutions to large enterprise customers, first in the APM and J2EE fields and, since 2009, in the fields of operational intelligence and Splunk. He has provided consultancy for big Splunk installations for major customers, focusing on the best and most effective solutions for each different customer's needs. Since 2012, he's also a certified Splunk trainer.
In the last few years, Marco's major focus has been to get Splunk customers to gain the maximum value from their IT data and provide the business a better view and insight. Big Data is another major field of interest, and his next challenge is using Splunk to give customers useful insights and a practical implementation and exploitation of Big Data.

Splunk is awesome. Not only can you consume virtually any data with it, you can also extend and integrate Splunk with virtually any external system. Splunk uses sets of configurations that are referred to as applications or add-ons, which is the primary focus of this book. Leveraging these applications and add-ons is what gives Splunk its unique ability to extend, learn, analyze, and visualize information.
Splunk helps users to determine the root cause of a failure, a quick overview of system health, and dive deep into SQL statements and messages, just to name a few. The aggregation and centralization of log and event management is a growing trend in the Big Data space. By leveraging the combined intelligence gathered from correlating disparate sets of data, businesses or individuals can make data-based decisions. This book will help a Splunk developer, or even just a curious end user, to develop different methods of consuming new data, design new types of visualization, or even just offer tips and tricks that help the software development lifecycle.
Most developer guides will tell you what their book is and/or does. We aim to explain what this book isn't, and allow you to fill in the rest with your imagination! Thus, proceed to this list:
- Will not cover Splunk basics
- Will not cover creating dashboards via the GUI (other than HTML)
- Will not discuss how to code in Python
- Will not discuss statistics
- Will not cover SDKs
- Will not discuss making beer
Splunk basics will not be covered. These include concepts such as searching (finding data, using timecharts, stats, some eval commands, and so on), reporting (making basic pie charts or line charts via the GUI), data inputs (basic file monitoring, TCP and UDP inputs, Splunk forwarders, and so on), and configurations (GUI and web-based configuration editing), to name a few. Creating dashboards via the GUI? Nope. Python will be discussed and sample code will be provided, but this book will not cover the nuances of the code, nor will it teach you Python syntax. We will not cover statistical computation, other than how to practically apply some basic math to create value-based visualizations. We will not cover using the SDKs (software development kits) being used in custom Splunk applications that are external to Splunk (for example, Angular, PHP, .NET, and others). These are out of the scope of this book. Free as in beer? Nope, the choice of hops, starch, and oak-barrel aging for the creation of beer will not be discussed, but rather consumed during the writing and/or reading of this book.
