Summary
In this chapter, we looked at a few different methods of creating Splunk Apps. There are two basic methods of creating Apps: via the Web and via the CLI. We looked at the structure of the App and what each folder may contain. We also covered what kinds of objects (in a non-exhaustive list) can be included in a Splunk App. We discussed permissions, and how to assign them in two different ways. We then went over how to set up a REST endpoint to control configuration, as well as a setup screen to allow the user to update credentials within the App.
Up next, we will discuss the different aspects of enhancing your App with event types, workflows, and some acceleration techniques.
