Splunk Announces New Development Tools to Extend the Power of Splunk Software
Developers Can Rapidly Build and Deploy Real-Time Big Data
Applications
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Splunk
Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), the leading software platform for real-time
operational intelligence, today announced the general availability (GA)
of new software development kits (SDKs) for Java and Python. SDKs make
it easier for developers to customize and extend the power of Splunk®
Enterprise, enabling real-time big data insights across the
organization. Splunk previously released the GA version of the Splunk
SDK for JavaScript for Splunk Enterprise 5. The Splunk SDK for PHP is in
public preview.
"Our mission at Splunk is to lower the barriers for organizations to
gain operational intelligence from machine data," said Paul Sanford,
general manager of developer platform, Splunk. "We want to empower
developers to build big data applications on the Splunk platform and to
understand that you don't need large-scale development efforts to get
big value. That's a key driver behind the development of these SDKs,
helping developers quickly get started with Splunk software, leveraging
their existing language skills and driving rapid time to value."
"Building a developer community around a software platform requires a
strong commitment to a low barrier to entry. This applies to every step
of the adoption process, from download to documentation to development.
Splunk's focus on SDKs for some of the most popular programming
languages, with underlying REST-based APIs, supports its commitment to
enabling software developers to easily build applications," said Donnie
Berkholz, Ph.D., IT industry analyst, RedMonk.
SDKs Deliver Value
The Splunk SDKs for Java, Javascript, PHP and Python are built on a
fully documented and supported REST API and include documentation, code
samples, resources and tools to help developers build on the Splunk
platform. With just a few lines of code, developers can easily manage
HTTP access, authentication and namespaces. Benefits include the ability
to:
-
Integrate Splunk Data with Other Applications: Discover a
higher level of operational intelligence by letting developers create
applications to index, search, visualize and analyze data using Splunk
software and any other application.
-
Quickly Build Big Data Applications: Build enterprise-grade
applications in days instead of months, delivering rapid time-to-value
for application development.
-
Deliver a Familiar Development Experience: Eliminate the
learning curve and develop with standard programming languages and
tools.
Developers Embrace Splunk
"We use the Splunk platform to build custom dashboards for our customers
to present to their customers. They expect the best and Splunk helps us
deliver it," said Isaac Mosquera, chief technical officer, Socialize.
"We utilize the Splunk SDK for Python to allow our customers to access
their application logs during the development process, which reduces our
staff's support workload. The Python SDK is also a critical component of
our alerting, enabling us to shut down servers before they cause a
production problem and stop any revenue loss."
"The Splunk SDK for Python provides us with a familiar developer
environment to build applications that provide metrics and analytics
from the Splunk platform to our entire customer base," said Bill
Mathews, chief technology officer, Hurricane Labs.
"We developed several big data applications with Splunk software and run
most of our business on it. We use Splunk Enterprise for
development/testing, monitoring our data for signs of attack or abuse,
learning where we have issues that we need to address and managing
security at the data level," said Steve Mays, co-founder, Message Bus.
