Applications

Splunk Preview introduces application management and browsing within Splunk Web. From the Admin panel, authorized users can:

• View and manage their installed applications.
• Browse SplunkBase for new applications to install.

Refer to the Admin manual for more information on applications.

View and manage applications

The Applications: View/Manage page displays a table of the applications currently installed on your system, each application's status, and actions you can select to perform on each application. By clicking on the option name in the Actions column, you can Uninstall, Configure, and Enable/Disable your applications.

Uninstall

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.

Configure

Configure redirects you to a page where you can edit the application's configuration stanzas (if they exist).

Enable/Disable

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.

You can use the Enable and Disable buttons, located above the table, to quickly enable and disable all checked items.

Browse SplunkBase

The Applications: Browse SplunkBase page lets you use Splunk Web to view and install any of the applications available on SplunkBase.

Application summary

You can 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.

Install applications

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 login to download the application.

After you download and install an application, you can view and manage it from the Applications: View/Manage page.
