What are Splunk Apps?

Apps are collections of saved searches, reports, dashboards, themes, data inputs or other configurable functions that have been packaged together to address specific tasks or problems. Apps can be big or small, monitoring your entire enterprise security posture or just changing the look of your data. They help users find patterns in information and share Splunk across the business, from the IT department and beyond.

Apps are bundles of features, such as :

  • Searches
  • Alerts
  • Reports
  • Views and Dashboards
  • Themes
  • Data Inputs
  • Knowledge about Sources, Events, Fields and Tags
  • Event Actions and Workflows
  • Custom Search Commands
  • and more...

Apps help open the door to the diverse ways Splunk can be used, whether you're monitoring cardholder data stores for PCI compliance or trying to revolutionize the way you look at Unix system metrics. Splunk apps can help you get the job done quickly, efficiently and elegantly.

How Can I Get Apps?

With Splunk 4 you can easily download and install any app from this website or from the App Launcher built into Splunk. Browse the available apps to download them directly from the web, or visit our Administration Manual to learn how to install apps from the Launcher.
