Three New Splunk Developer Platform Offerings
From the post:
Last week was a busy week for the Splunk developer platform team. We pushed live 2 SDKs within one hour! We are excited to announce the release of:
- Java SDK Preview on GitHub. The Java SDK enables our growing base of customers to share and harness the core Splunk platform and the valuable data stored in Splunk across the enterprise. The SDK ships with a number of examples including an explorer utility that provides the ability to explore the components and configuration settings of a Splunk installation. Learn more about the Java SDK.
- JavaScript SDK Preview on GitHub The JavaScript SDK takes big data to the web by providing developers with the ability to easily integrate visualizations into custom applications. Now developers can take the timeline view and charting capabilities of Splunk’s out-of-the-box web interface and include them in their custom applications. Additionally, with node.js support on the server side, developers can build end-to-end applications completely in JavaScript. Learn more about the JavaScript SDK.
- Splunk Developer AMI. A developer-focused publicly available Linux Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that includes all the Splunk SDKs and Splunk 4.2.5. The Splunk Developer AMI, will make it easier for developers to try the Splunk platform. To enhance the usability of the image, developers can sign up for a free developer license trial, which can be used with the AMI. Read our blog post to learn more about the developer AMI.
The delivery of the Java and JavaScript SDKs coupled with our existing Python SDK (GitHub) reinforce our commitment to developer enablement by providing more language choice for application development and putting the SDKs on the Splunk Linux AMI expedites the getting started experience.
We are seeing tremendous interest in our developer community and customer base for Splunk to play a central role facilitating the ability to build innovative applications on top of a variety of data stores that span on-premises, cloud and mobile.
We are enabling developers to build complex Big Data applications for a variety of scenarios including:
- Custom built visualizations
- Reporting tool integrations
- Big Data and relational database integrations
- Complex event processing
Not to mention being just in time for the holidays! 😉
Seriously, tools to do useful work with “big data” are coming online. The question is going to be the skill with which they are applied.
