NAME

WWW::Splunk::API - Splunk REST client

DESCRIPTION

WWW::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.

new (params)

A constructor.

my $splunk = WWW::Splunk::API->new({
        host => $host,
        port => $port,
        login => $login,
        password => $password,
        unsafe_ssl => 0,
        verbose => 0,
});

Default values are: - port - 8089 - host - localhost - url - https://$host:$port - verbose - 0 - unsafe_ssl - 0 - service_prefix - /services - search - 1

delete (parameters)

Wrapper around HTTP::Request::Common::DELETE().

post (parameters)

Wrapper around HTTP::Request::Common::POST().

get (parameters)

Wrapper around HTTP::Request::Common::GET().

head (parameters)

Wrapper around HTTP::Request::Common::HEAD(). Not used anywhere in splunk API

put (parameters)

Wrapper around HTTP::Request::Common::PUT(). Not used anywhere in splunk API

request (method, location, [data], [callback])

Request a Splunk api and deal with the results.

Method can be either a HTTP::Request instance (see HTTP::Request::Common for useful ones), or a plain string, such as "GET" or "DELETE."

Optional data is has reference gets serialized into a request body for POST request. Use undef in case you don't have any data to send, but need to specify a callback function in subsequent argument.

Call-back function can be specified for a single special case, where a XML stream of <results> elements is expected.
