Use Splunk Web's Admin interface to manage existing applications and browse SplunkBase for new applications. For Splunk applications and information on how to build your own, refer to the Apps Wiki.
The Applications: View/Manage page displays a table of the applications currently installed on your system, each application's status, and actions you can perform on each application. By clicking on the option in the Actions column, you can Uninstall, Configure, and Enable/Disable your applications.
Uninstall deletes the application from the list and removes all the files associated with the application. When you click Uninstall a dialog window opens and asks if you wish to continue or cancel the uninstall action. You must restart Splunk to complete the uninstall process.
Configure redirects you to the applications View/Manage page, where you can edit the application's configuration stanzas (if they exist).
Enable/Disable turns your application on or off and updates the Status column to reflect the change. If your application is already enabled, you will see the Disable option and vice-versa.
Use the Enable and Disable buttons, located above the table, to quickly enable and disable all checked items.
The Applications: Browse SplunkBase page lets you use Splunk Web to view and install any of the applications available on SplunkBase.
Scroll through all the applications or use the category links to view groups of applications. Each application has a summary describing its use and a list of information that includes the number of downloads and the application's price.
Each application has an install button: Install Free for free applications or Install 30-day Free Trial for applications that have an associated price. When you click on an install button for an application, Splunk Web redirects you to a SplunkBase login page. You have to log in to download the application.
After you install an application, restart Splunk. Now, you can view and manage your new application from the Applications: View/Manage page.
Note: To upgrade an application, we recommend that you remove the old version and do a fresh install of the application (with the new version).
