Splunk NLTK Tutorial

[AnujaJ]

Hello,

I installed Splunk NLTK App for raw text analysis. However, I cannot find any tutorial or guideline on how to use the app. Does anyone have an idea on how to use it?

Just in case anybody else wanders back to this rather old question, there are tutorials now available for the NLTK (March 2021). A google search can find them.

Hi Anuja, I don't have a tutorial, but there are some hints on the "details" page. You have to download datasets from https://github.com/nltk/nltk_data/tree/gh-pages/packages and put it on your server in the nltk_data/bin folder manually. Afterward I was able to use language_detect and sentiment_analysis.
Here is the list from available actions (from the #details page):
Supported actions are:
sentence_tokenize
tokenize_and_tag
word_tokenize
definitions
synonyms
antonyms
lemma
language_detect
sentiment_analysis

Here is an example I used to test it:

|makeresults | eval _raw="Good for job listings and getting back in touch with old friends!"
|nltk action="sentiment_analysis"
