NAME

Net::Splunk::API - Splunk REST client

DESCRIPTION

Net::Splunk::API is a low-level interface to Splunk log search engine. It deals with HTTP communication as well as working around certain interface glitches.

See http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Developer/RESTSearch for API definition.

This module is designed to be Splunk API version agnostic.

Please consider this an alpha quality code, whose API can change at any time, until we reach version 2.0. There are known glitches in the code quality now. Remember the code is the best documentation for now.
