Overview of this book

If you are a data analyst with basic knowledge of Big Data analysis but no knowledge of Splunk, then this book will help you get started with Splunk. The book assumes that you have access to a copy of Splunk, ideally not in production, and many examples also assume you have administrator rights.

Chapter 7. Extending Search

In this chapter, we will look at some of the features that Splunk provides beyond its already powerful search language. We will cover the following, along with the help of examples:

  • Tags and event types that help you categorize events, for both search and reporting
  • Lookups that allow you to add external fields to events as though they were part of the original data
  • Macros that let you reuse snippets of search in powerful ways
  • Workflow actions that let you build searches and links based on the field values in an event
  • External commands that allow you to use Python code to work with search results

In this chapter, we will investigate a few of the many commands included in Splunk. We will write our own commands in Chapter 13, Extending Splunk.
