Now that we have uploaded our App, we can truthfully say we have joined the Splunk community. And, as part of the Splunk community, we have certain responsibilities to foster the environment as an inviting place to explore, learn, and help others. We will now take a moment to orient those of you that haven't yet visited the community.
The answers site is a help forum that is open to the public. It is located at http://answers.splunk.com. The primary purpose is to get help from other forum members. The questions that are asked and the answers that are given are highly variable, but the amount of creativity is astounding. Most of these answers come from folks with a wealth of real-world knowledge, but some are answered by native Splunkers. No question is too small; the community is always willing to help.
As the title indicates, http://dev.splunk.com is a site designed for App developers, and almost everything in this book can be found in the documentation there...
