Hi,

How do I log in using Splunk RESTful API? I can only find examples in curl. Would be nice if anyone could send some java code example on how to translate curl into java.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can try using splunk Java SDK for accessing splunk functionality in java. You can find more details at http://dev.splunk.com/java

Java SDK have various utility classes which can be used to perform any splunk operation.

Few examples using Java SDK are mentioned here: http://dev.splunk.com/view/java-sdk/SP-CAAAEFH

Thanks!!!

Hi,

Thanks for the fast response!

I wan't to create dashboards from java code and from what I've read one is not possible to do this with Splunk SDK. I found this link that might solve my problem but for that I need to connect to the REST API.
