How it works...

In this case, you installed a Splunk application that leverage a scripted input. The script we wrote generates data for three source types. The access_combined source type contains sample web access logs, the metrics_csv source type contains sensor metrics, and the log4j source type contains application logs. These data sources will be used throughout the recipes in the book. Applications will also be discussed in more detail later on.
