Chapter 11. Enterprise Integration with Splunk

We now have enough understanding of how to use Splunk for analytics and visualization. In this chapter, we will go through how Splunk can be integrated with any present/legacy proprietary applications in detail along with examples. Splunk provides an Software Development Kit (SDK) on almost all programming languages, such as .NET, Java, Python, and so on. The SDK can be used to integrate with applications to get better, efficient, and faster (real-time) results in the applications.
