Standalone Splunk App

[Sheela]

Hi,
Is there a way I can make my Splunk app a standalone app as opposed to opening the browser and selecting my app from the menu? I want to have a logo and a splash screen for my app. I have just a few dashboards for now.

Well the easiest way is to change the default app for users to your own app via;
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Setupbuilt-inauthentication#Add_and_edit_us...

From here you could select your App as the default. Each time a user sign's in this will be displayed. For a splash screen you are best editing the welcome/login page.

Finally. You can remove all the links in the top right if you wanted to create a seamless look for your App, you don't even need to have a Splunk logo on it!
Have look here for advanced customization options for the XML.

If you wanted to run it outside of Splunk, then no. Not at the moment, it requires a browser to access as it is run from a Python based Web Server.

Not sure what you mean by standalone - Splunk's graphical interface is browser based, so no, there is no inbuilt functionality for interfacing with it (at least graphically) outside a browser.
