What this book is

This book will guide you through many different areas of Splunk App and add-on creation. We will start by looking at the design aspects of an App or add-on, how to create them, what knowledge objects are available for use within the App, ways to enhance your App with metadata and external data, and some basic views and dashboards. From there, we will move on to the Splunk Web Framework, modular inputs, jQuery, web framework programs, and then packaging and publishing Apps and add-ons. At the tail end, we will highlight some areas of the Splunk community that prove to be very useful.
