In this chapter, we go on to learn about the Splunk Software Development Kit (SDK) and D3.js. Unlike previous chapters, here we will learn some special ways to interact with Splunk, ways that will allow us to create interesting and vibrant applications.
Specifically, in this chapter we will do the following:
Learn about the Splunk SDK
Discuss how the SDK can extract data from Splunk
Find out how a website can be set up to show and use data extracted via the Splunk SDK
Learn about another important software tool, D3.js, and how it can be used to create useful and impressive data visualizations
We'll begin by talking about Splunk SDKs and how they can be used.
