Chapter 7. Enriching Data – Lookups and Workflows

In this chapter, we will learn how to augment and enrich the data within Splunk. You will learn about:

  • Looking up product code descriptions
  • Flagging suspect IP addresses
  • Creating a session state table
  • Adding hostnames to IP addresses
  • Searching ARIN for a given IP address
  • Triggering a Google search for a given error
  • Creating a ticket for application errors
  • Looking up inventory from an external database

Introduction

In the previous chapter, you continued to improve your Splunk search and analytical skills by creating highly advanced searches that leveraged more of the deep analytical commands to gain more operational intelligence from the data contained within the logs. In this chapter, you will leverage Splunk's lookup functionality to enrich these results with the data found outside of the logs. You will also use Splunk's workflow functionality to perform some simple actions on the data that you discovered.
