Hi,
A beginner/intermediate programmer/tester here.. I would like to contribute to Eventgen Splunk app. Checked the git page for Eventgen, but it looks bit complex.
To help me / others who like to contribute to Eventgen, can you give ideas/tips for
1. How to understand the Eventgen code (which file to start with, how should one go thru the github code)
2. As testing /bug fixing also a good way to contribute, can you please suggest how to test the Eventgen please.
The best place I learnt to start evengen is reading the eventgen.conf.spec
Then go through the samples configurations. The key thing to understand is "replay" and "sample" modes, but playing few examples will help.
A youtube video is also helpful though quite old now. Video1 && Video2
Eventgen is open source in github.
The Contribution requirements are present in here
Basically,
- if you require enhancement request, put as an issue. If you also find a bug, please put as an issue.
- if you are a developer and want to put code, initiate a pull request from your forked code.
adding a comment, to bring it to the Queue again, so that if someone got some suggestions, ideas, they can share with us.. thanks..
Hmmm. Get onto the splunk slack channel, and ask in the #appdev sub channel.
If I recall correctly, they just released an update of some sort.... but start there.
