Splunk [Developer Track] 2019 .conf Videos w/ Slides

You think data ingestion into Splunk is cumbersome today? Don’t enjoy writing Technology Add-ons (TA) for specific use cases? Then this talk is for you!  We will walk through data ingestion using the data sources supported by the new Splunk Investigate wizard. This allows users of all levels to configure their data source and perform various manipulation functions on the ingested data to make sure it meets their use case. We will also go over the guiding principles of the underlying Data Stream Processing (DSP) pipeline which empowers the user to add their own customizations and send data to a variety of destinations.   We will compare this with current Splunk Enterprise data ingestion process by configuring a TA for a specific use case and then alter the ingested data to the desired format before sending it to an index. The user will be able to draw a contrast between the two approaches and see how it does not have to take up to 6 weeks to acquire and prepare data for analytics in Splunk. We hope this session leaves the user excited about data ingestion and prep.

Come join two old school Splunkers as we talk about our journey building our first app on Splunk Developer Cloud. We'll discuss the fun parts and the foibles, and hopefully show you that you can teach an old Pony new tricks.

You knew it had to happen, Splunk is migrating to Python 3! We want this migration to be as painless as possible for apps and scripts developers, but it necessitates some compatibility requirements. This talk will dive into what parts of your apps and scripts will have to become Python 3 compatible. You’ll explore approaches to using Python community supplied backporting libraries as well as Python 2/3 compatible native syntax. By examining common and uncommon gotchas we found while migrating Splunk Enterprise, we will make sure you are prepared to run your code in the future generations of Splunk Enterprise!

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent regulatory agency whose purpose is to enforce campaign finance law in US federal elections. The FEC provides a REST API to query all campaign data of every candidate. By collecting and analyzing the direct and indirect (Super PAC) contributions, Splunk can show the relative influence of each candidate of the midterm. Also learn how Splunk powers the Splunk for Good midterm website using Splunk's REST API, HEC, and Amazon S3 hosting. This talk is an update of the 2016 Presidential Election talk from .conf16.

Building Splunk add-ons using API's and Python is easy! In fact we reckon it's is so easy that we're going to build one from scratch in less than 20 minutes... LIVE. Come and see whether we manage to pull it off, or whether we fail in front of hundreds of people! You do not need to be a Python expert, however a basic understanding will help.

In the new Splunk Cloud Platform, we’re reimagining the way we enable monitoring and alerting. Configure triggers to identify changes and anomalies in your data as they occur and determine the right action(s) that should be taken as a result – email, Slack, VictorOps, etc. Leverage machine learning to bring your attention to the right insights and roll that back into your core monitoring strategy.  Come to this session to learn more about both the long-term vision and what’s immediately available.

Vagrant is virtualization technology that builds portable, virtual software development environments. Leveraging this technology for Splunk development allows agile and DevOps teams to easily collaborate in Splunk development in as way that tightly mirrors their production environment, even when working with a mix of environments such as Mac and Windows. Vagrant’s multi-machine environments can perfectly replicate any Splunk architecture, including complicated clustering and networking configurations, using a single Vagrantfile that can be shared directly or committed to a version control system. From the Forwarder to a search head cluster member, see how your configurations and code work in your environment across the entire data pipeline right on your machine, or test your Splunkbase app on every possible architecture from single server to distributed multi-site clusters, all with a single command: vagrant up.

Ever had the necessity to have fine-grain control over visualizations on your Splunk dashboards? This talk will show you everything you need to know about how to build your own custom data visualization experience. Work through real-world examples by customizing the very popular Buttercup games dashboard. By the end of this talk, you will be inspired to have your dashboard with your own visualizations and share them with the Splunk community.

Wouldn't it be great if SPL had a debug mode?! We think so too, which is why we created SPL Rehab. This new app allows you to step through your search on a per-command basis, visualize key figures from the job inspector and search log, and show you how your overall output is affected! We will also show you how the tool works under the covers and how you can apply some useful dashboarding tricks to your own apps!
