The logging library for Android is now added with an option to reroute the crash logs into Splunk Enterprise. Yes, crash logs from Android mobile devices into Splunk Enterprise.

With the introduction of our various programming language SDK’s (Java, JS, Python,PHP,Ruby) for the Splunk REST API , we have significantly  lowered the barrier of entry for developers wanting to build big data apps and integrations on top of the Splunk platform.Developers can now choose their preferred development language and right out the blocks focus on coding their core business logic without having to worry about the lower level semantics of REST , the SDK’s make this easy.

And that is after all why we build tools and  frameworks in the first place , to make it simpler for you to perform some task and get to that point of productivity faster.

Building upon this ideal, if an…

This is a logging library developed for mobile app developers to allow better visibility of their apps; particularly to address the instrumentation of crash logs. Bottom-line, no more guessing what kind of errors that end users experience with your mobile apps on their phones. Ensure the highest quality of your apps by harnessing realtime analytics Splunk Storm provides.

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:

As mentioned in previous posts, the recently-released preview of the new Splunk App Framework allows developers to draw from the power of modern web programming to create new and exciting applications built on Splunk. I’m really excited about all the new abilities the framework provides, and I think it will help usher in some really awesome Splunk Apps.

When I first got my hands on the framework, I wanted to show off how quickly and easily a web developer, such as myself, could use standard web technologies to make a simple yet compelling dashboard for Splunk.

Let’s get started!

Setup

If you haven’t already, you’ll first need to grab the Splunk App Framework from GitHub. To get yourself set…

On your mark! Get set! Hack! Splunk is hosting a hackathon at Seed Philly on Wednesday, March 6 from 4-9pm, after SplunkLive Philadelphia.  This hackathon gives developers a chance to build applications that make it easier and more effective to gain insights from machine data with Splunk.

Have you heard of Splunk, but don’t know how to get started using the product to build cool data mashups? Come and join! Splunk will provide food, beer and Splunk experts to help you get started. All skill levels are welcome. Join us whether you are a black belt Splunk ninjas or new to Splunk and wanting to apply your coding skills to build data apps.

Thanks much to Seed Philly…

I am happy to announce that Splunk Hadoop Connect 1.1 is now available. This version of Hadoop Connect rounds out Splunk’s integration with the Hadoop distributions by becoming certified on MapR. Cloudera, Hortonworks, and Apache Hadoop distributions also have the ability to benefit from the power of Splunk.

Splunk Hadoop Connect provides bi-directional integration to easily and reliably move data between Splunk and Hadoop. It provides Hadoop users the ability to gain real-time analysis, visualization and role based access control for a stream of machine-generated data. It delivers three core capacities: Export data from Splunk to Hadoop, Explore Hadoop directories and Import data from Hadoop to Splunk.

The most significant new feature added…

I am often asked, “can i store pcap headers in splunk ?”. My response is a somewhat useless, “that’s easy”. To which the inquirer says, “if its so easy, show me; right now”. Ok. Fair point

We’ll do all this from the command line but first a quick overview:

- Create a new index, pcaphead,
- Create a splunk listener, udp 5000.
- Run tcpdump to print the headers
- Use netcat to send the headers to Splunk
- Run a Splunk search.

This is what it looks like on the command line.

Splunk4Good’s new intern, Carol Silva, told you recently how excited we were to be sponsoring and hosting StudentRND‘s 1st Code Day SF here at Splunk HQ over President’s Day weekend. I knew it was going to be great, but I had to blog myself to share how absolutely wowed I was at the epic success of this event!

Saturday morning as Tyler Menezes and Chris Engelbrecht from StudentRND finished setting up, the first few kids starting filtering into the Splunk Dev space, all with laptops and some with fancy gaming accessories or sleeping bags in hand. I had my first indicator things were going to be epic when before the keynote even began there was…
