Overview of this book

Splunk is the leading platform that fosters an efficient methodology and delivers ways to search, monitor, and analyze growing amounts of big data. This book will allow you to implement new services and utilize them to quickly and efficiently process machine-generated big data. We introduce you to all the new features, improvements, and offerings of Splunk 7. We cover the new modules of Splunk: Splunk Cloud and the Machine Learning Toolkit to ease data usage. Furthermore, you will learn to use search terms effectively with Boolean and grouping operators. You will learn not only how to modify your search to make your searches fast but also how to use wildcards efficiently. Later you will learn how to use stats to aggregate values, a chart to turn data, and a time chart to show values over time; you'll also work with fields and chart enhancements and learn how to create a data model with faster data model acceleration. Once this is done, you will learn about XML Dashboards, working with apps, building advanced dashboards, configuring and extending Splunk, advanced deployments, and more. Finally, we teach you how to use the Machine Learning Toolkit and best practices and tips to help you implement Splunk services effectively and efficiently. By the end of this book, you will have learned about the Splunk software as a whole and implemented Splunk services in your tasks at projects

Working with Apps

Splunk apps are what the industry calls knowledge, or, sometimes, apps are a collection of knowledge objects. A knowledge object is a prearrangement of configurations within Splunk, based on some logic and agreed upon due to some consideration or need. With Splunk, you have the ability to create these apps to extend or customize users' Splunk experience. In this chapter, we will explore what makes up a Splunk app, as well as exploring the latest self-service app management (originally introduced in version 6.6) updated in version 7.0.

We will:

  • Inspect included apps
  • Install apps from Splunkbase
  • Build our own app
  • Customize app navigation
  • Customize the look and feel of apps
  • Self-service app management
