How to get data through REST API into SPLUNK APP

[emily12234]

Hi

We have to retrieve DATA through REST API and then display the data in the dashboard.

After reading documents, the add-on is an easy method to get data into Splunk. But no dashboard for add-on.

Can I combine the add-on into APP? Add-on: get data, APP: display the data?

Regards

Emily

Hi,

The best way is to create a separate app for dashboards and deploy it in only search heads.And you can deploy your addon in indexers for parsing activity.
