How to Contribute to Splunk add on for AWS?

[paulkilpatrick]

Hello,

We have a few updates we have made to the Splunk_TA_AWS and a few more ideas we want to implement, but are finding it harder and harder when upgrades come out to migrate and merge those changes.

Is there anyway to contribute to the Splunk_TA_AWS add-on via some pull requests... I found this github page, but it is 8 years old, and no PRs or issues etc etc (and is way behind the current 7.x version)

https://github.com/splunk-apps/splunk-aws-addon

Thanks

Yer I guess I was more interested in pushing up the changes we have already made, and before we started with our next lot of changes seeing if we could merge them in.. if that is the case we might just keep our own branch.. but of a shame really, opening it up can produce some pretty good changes (and not waiting on splunk to implement them).

You could use previous methods to contact splunk and tell that you are willing to give your enhancements to TA-aws if they are interested about those. I suppose that PM team are at least interested to discuss with you what you have and can they use those or not.

HI @paulkilpatrick,

the Splunk Add-On for Amazon Web Services (AWS) is directly maintained by Splunk itself, so I'm not sure that's possible to contribute to its improvement, probably you could create your own branch, but outside of this products name.

Eventually you could to try to open a not technical Use case on Splunk Support to be sure about this.

Ciao.

Hi

As @gcusello said, you could try to create a support case or maybe better way is create idea on https://ideas.splunk.com. Splunk's product managers are followed that forum and maybe they react it?
