Looking up events on SplunkBase

By default SplunkBase lookups are enabled in Splunk version 3.0.2 and higher. If you have an older version and want to enable SplunkBase lookups, follow these instructions.


Configuration

You can enable SplunkBase look ups through field actions, by editing field_actions.conf.


Add the following code to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/field_actions.conf:


[SplunkBaseLookup]
metaKeys=_raw, host
uri=http://www.splunkbase.com/
label=Search Splunk Base
target=splunkbase
method=POST
payload= event={$_raw}&myhost={$host} 

Once you add this code, you will be able to right-click on the timestamp of events and get a menu that lets you look up events on SplunkBase.
