Extend Your Splunk App with Custom REST Endpoints

As you build more complicated Splunk apps, you might wonder, “What is the best way to make the features in my app more usable?” If you’re adding new SPL commands or creating ways to input new data sources, the answer is straightforward. But imagine you’re trying to address one of the following scenarios: For cases like these, consider extending the Splunk REST API with custom endpoints.

Graph Analytics Using Splunk and the Machine Learning Toolkit

Almost all data in Splunk can be turned into graphs, and that's possibly something you may not have considered before. In your network traffic data, a source IP connects to a destination IP with attributes like bytes in/out, packets, ports, and other properties. Users log into an interconnected stack of systems, services, devices and applications which are connected with each other. Transactions run from A to B to C and may describe a process that helps you analye user journeys and business processes in general.

Announcing HAProxy Data Plane API 2.1

Version 2.1 of the HAProxy Data Plane API expands support to all available request and response actions, adds Lua actions, and improves file handling. A year ago, we introduced version 1.0 of the HAProxy Data Plane API, enabling you to configure your HAProxy load balancers remotely through a modern RESTful HTTP API. That first version of the API focused on the essential behaviors for creating frontend proxies, backend server pools, ACLs and traffic switching rules.

The Words of the Birds - Leveraging AI to Detect Songbirds

When was the last time you had the chance to listen to some of the most beautiful concerts that nature can play for you? From simple chirps and tweets to complex bird songs composed into a sophisticated soundscape, you may wish you could decrypt and understand their daily conversation. “Hey, good morning, how are you today?”, you might hear in the early hours, sometimes so loudly that you are awakened from the chirping.

Exploring the Key Aspects of Open Source Website Monitoring

Often, brands are unaware of how their website is performing or exactly when it goes down. Technical glitches are common in today’s ever-evolving cyber world and websites can become temporarily dysfunctional due to several reasons. But from a business perspective, downtime of even a few minutes can translate into huge losses for your enterprise. Your website is one of the most important elements of your business and you should be aware of its status at all times.

A Smarter Way to Preprocess Your Data

In May we released the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK) version 5.2. We’ve loved telling you about some of the great new features, including the most recent blog on DensityFunction. However, we know that before you can start experimenting with model-building algorithms such as DensityFunction, your data needs to be prepared for machine learning. Machine learning operates best when you provide clean data as the foundation for building your models.

Using Elastic supervised machine learning for binary classification

The 7.6 release of the Elastic Stack delivered the last piece required for an end-to-end machine learning pipeline. Previously, machine learning focused on unsupervised techniques with anomaly detection. However, several features have been released over the 7.x releases. In 7.2 Elasticsearch released transforms for turning raw indices into a feature index. Then 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 released outlier detection, regression, and classification, respectively.
