Summary


In this chapter, we covered the fundamentals of designing and installing Splunk Apps. Apps can be broken down into "domains", each with a naming convention that allows you to quickly determine what the App can do, and what is contained within it, so that new users to your environment don't have to look for configurations. We learned how to approach App design to make sure that the App is planned beforehand, which will eliminate the need to refactor major portions of the App later, when it may already be in production. We also went over the three different methodologies available to install Apps to give a basic understanding of user experience related to the installation of any App that you may build.

Now that you've acquired an understanding of what an app consists of, in the coming chapters, we will discuss creating, enhancing, and customizing them.
