Splunk introduced a new Splunk Apps website with more than 400 apps and add-ons to help Splunk customers and partners add even more value to their investment in Splunk software.
Splunk developers, partners and customers have added more than 100 new apps this year.
“Apps play a huge role in making Splunk Enterprise the standard for monitoring, analyzing and visualizing machine data because they make it even easier to gain insights from unique or specialized data, “ said Markus Zirn, VP of product and solutions management, Splunk. “In addition to the apps that Splunk development teams build and support such as the Splunk App for Enterprise Security and the Splunk App for VMware, hundreds of developers, partners and customers also create apps for Splunk software. Each new app enhances Splunk Enterprise in a different way, ensuring that Splunk customers gain more value as they correlate and analyze more data across the enterprise.”
One of the most popular new additions to Splunk Apps in the past few months is the SNMP Modular Input beta, which has been downloaded more than 1,200 times since May by organizations that want to gather metrics and trigger alerts from specialized machine data sources.
