Chapter 8. Publishing Applications

In this chapter, we will cover how to publish our App on Splunkbase, the community for Splunk developers. We will discuss the process step by step, and any caveats that may arise. We will talk about Certified Applications, and what that means to you as an App developer. We will also start a discussion on communities, and why the community is important in the culture of Splunk, as well as around the globe.

Then we will see some links and references to other commonly used Splunk resources, such as the Splunk Wiki and the Splunk documentation (which you should already be familiar with). Finally, we will hit upon Splunk user groups, how to find a group, and what to expect.
