We've covered a lot in this chapter, but I think and hope that this coverage of how to create Splunk apps install and configure some of the free apps available from Splunkbase, configure permissions, and understand where and how these apps are manifested in the Splunk directory structure will help you to solidify your overall knowledge of how Splunk works. I especially hope you will install and configure the Add-on for your particular operating system(s), and work with DB Connect and the MLTK, as these are both very useful and valuable additions to your Splunk deployment.
In the next, and final, chapter, we'll cover how to monitor and troubleshoot your Splunk deployment, and introduce a few advanced topics.
