Where to get more apps and add-ons

You can find new apps and add-ons on http://www.splunkbase.com.

All the apps and add-ons that are available on Splunkbase also show up in Launcher, so you can download and install them directly from within Splunk.

When you log into Splunk Web, you see the Launcher by default. If this has been changed, you can get back to the Launcher from the App menu in the upper right hand of the main page of any Splunk-provided app.

If you are connected to the internet

If your Splunk server or your client machine are connected to the internet, you can download apps directly from Launcher, within Splunk.

1. From the Launcher, click on the Browse Apps tab. This will connect you to the Splunkbase, where you can browse for and download other apps and add-ons that are available for this version of Splunk.

2. Pick the app or add-on you want and select Install.

3. You will be prompted to log in with your splunk.com username and password (note that this is not your Splunk username and password).

4. Your app or add-on is now installed and if it has a Web GUI component (most add-ons contain only knowledge objects like event type definitions and don't have any GUI context), you can navigate to it from Launcher.

If you are not connected to the internet

If your Splunk server and client do not have internet connectivity, you must download apps from SplunkBase and copy them over to your server.

1. From a computer connected to the internet, browse Splunkbase for the app or add-on you want.

2. Download the app or add-on.

3. Copy this app over to your Splunk server.

4. Put the app in your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps directory.

5. Untar and ungzip your app or add-on (run tar -xvf or use a tool that will untar and ungzip files). Note that Splunk apps are packaged with a .SPL extension although they are just tarred and gzipped. You may need to force your tool to recognize this extension.

6. You may need to restart Splunk depending on the contents of the app or add-on.

7. Your app or add-on is now installed and will be available from Launcher (if it has a Web GUI component).
