• Export data from Splunk using the /export endpoint
• Write data into Splunk
• Manage Splunk objects
• and more …

Another day in the life of SplunkDev and another SDK under Splunk’s Developer Platform.

Splunk SDK for Ruby is now publicly available. Thanks to the every one in the external Ruby community for their feedback and their contribution to the open source project!

So what can you do with the SDK? Below are some highlights:

OData users? If so, read on…

Now available on Splunkbase, we have a new app – OData for Splunk that allows you to access your data in Splunk from applications like Excel and Tableau where you can build dashboards and other report visualizations outside of the Splunk’s web interface.

This app provides OData endpoints to your Saved Searches. Using this endpoints, you can pull data from Splunk into Excel, Tableau or any other applications that support Open Data Protocol.

This application is currently in beta, and works with Splunk 5.0 and above. If you would like access, please contact us at DevInfo.

This one goes out to all the developers waiting for the Splunk PHP SDK. Well, the wait has finally ended.

A public preview of PHP SDK 0.1.0 is now available on Github. While in its early stages, you can do a lot with this SDK. It allows you to run any saved searches or ad-hoc searches. It supports various search modes – normal, oneshot, blocking etc. giving you the control to run both synchronous as well as asynchronous searches.

Below are a few code snippets showing what you can do with the SDK:

Connect to Splunk

// Import Splunk.php
require_once 'Splunk.php';

// Create an instance of Splunk_Service to connect to a Splunk server
$service = new Splunk_Service(array(
    'host' =>

…

We all know about the limitations at the browser level that prevents any communication between 2 different domains, aka Same-Origin Policy. The examples below show how you can use the Java SDK to work around this policy by communicating with Splunk server (splunkd) in your server side code. This way your client side code gets the data served on a silver plate from the server and can focus on building awesome UIs using css, js etc.

Sample Java code for the method in your server side class that can be invoked directly from the JSP:

public String getSearchResults(String query, String outputMode) {
    // instantiate Service and connect
    Args args = new Args();
    args.add("username", "admin");
    args.add("password",
