How to check app updates availability in Splunk?

[thirumalreddyb]

Hello,

I was looking for a best way to check app updates, like a bulk way. Is there any Splunk app which would generate a dashboard/report which has the name of the app and the associated update.

If not app, any best way?

Thanks in advance.

I would take a look at the Analysis of Splunkbase Apps app: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2919/

"This App provides a simple dashboard with App stats and allows you to search for Splunk Apps within Splunk. It was also designed to work if you are offline, as long as you have been online once to collect data.

This App can be used to determine which Apps are certified to work with Splunk Cloud, Hunk, ES, etc."

It will show the last update on one of the dashboards which may be what you are looking for. If not exactly, then you could always tweak the search behind the dashboard.
