The Splunk Interface - Implementing Splunk: Big Data Reporting and Development for Operational Intelligence - page 4

The Your Apps section shows the apps that have GUI elements on your instance
of Splunk.
App is an overloaded term in Splunk. An app doesn't necessarily have
a GUI at all; it is simply a collection of configurations wrapped into a
directory structure that means something to Splunk. We will discuss
apps in a more detailed manner in Chapter 7 , Working with Apps .
Under Do more with Splunk , we find:
• Add data : This links to the Add Data to Splunk page. This interface is a
great start for getting local data flowing into Splunk. The new Preview data
interface takes an enormous amount of complexity out of configuring dates
and line breaking. We won't go through those interfaces here, but we will
go through the configuration files that these wizards produce in Chapter 10 ,
Configuring Splunk .
• Find more apps : This allows you to find and install more apps from
Splunkbase . Splunkbase ( http://splunk-base.splunk.com/ ) is a
very useful community-driven resource where Splunk users and Splunk
employees post questions, answers, code snippets, and apps.
Manage Splunk takes the user to the Manager section of Splunk. The Manager
section is used to configure most aspects of Splunk. The options provided change
depending on the capabilities of the user. We will use the Manager section
throughout the topic as we learn about different objects.
Getting started tutorial provides a quick but thorough overview of the major
functionality of Splunk.
Splunk documentation takes you to the official Splunk documentation.
The documentation, hosted at splunk.com , is truly vast.
