I am new to Splunk, can anyone please help me with the same. I have basic understanding with splunk queries etc. But quite new to built an apploication that interacts with Splunk engine. </P> Sun, 24 May 2015 14:00:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-with-Python-applications-to-programmatically-interact-with/m-p/121443#M1752 unnatiShukla 2015-05-24T14:00:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-with-Python-applications-to-programmatically-interact-with/m-p/121444#M1753 <P>Generally speaking, programs written to access the Splunk engine are written to interact through the Splunk REST API.</P> <P>There's plenty of information here regarding the API. A good place to start is <BR /> <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/Overview/Extending">link text</A> <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/Overview/Extending">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/Overview/Extending</A></P> <P>Working directly with the REST API is possible, and sometimes the only way to accomplish certain tasks. But there are also a set of SDKs available that encapsulate a lot of the more intricate parts, making it easy to perform common functions.</P> <P>Again, there's plenty of information on this site. A good place to start for the SDKs would be:<BR /> <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/AdvancedDev/SplunkSDKs">link text</A> <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/AdvancedDev/SplunkSDKs">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/AdvancedDev/SplunkSDKs</A></P> <P>Finally, Splunk does offer specific SDK training. I just took the class almost a month ago and found it to be invaluable.<BR /> <A href="http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAHSH">link text</A> <A href="http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAHSH">http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAHSH</A></P> Sun, 24 May 2015 15:04:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-with-Python-applications-to-programmatically-interact-with/m-p/121444#M1753 KenWhitesell 2015-05-24T15:04:16Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-with-Python-applications-to-programmatically-interact-with/m-p/121445#M1754 <P><A href="http://dev.splunk.com/python">Start here with our Splunk Python SDK</A> , there are loads of examples to get you started !</P> Mon, 25 May 2015 02:53:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-with-Python-applications-to-programmatically-interact-with/m-p/121445#M1754 Damien_Dallimor 2015-05-25T02:53:59Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-with-Python-applications-to-programmatically-interact-with/m-p/121446#M1755 <P>Splunk is a single piece of software for data collection, reporting &amp; parsing. You can use the same binary to access core Splunk i.e. Use Search Head(s) to access Indexer(s). <BR /> Is there any specific requirement/need, you want to build a separate application using Python?</P> Mon, 25 May 2015 03:01:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-with-Python-applications-to-programmatically-interact-with/m-p/121446#M1755 satishsdange 2015-05-25T03:01:02Z
