PowerShell Module for Splunk

Add Splunk to the list of products that can be managed by PowerShell. Splunk is used to monitor software applications, systems and infrastructures.  According to their blog, they are previewing a PowerShell module as well.

Earlier this week Splunk launched a preview of the PowerShell Resource Kit on Github. It is designed to help Splunk admins who want to automate administration of their Splunk deployments, but also has some pretty cool recipes for integrating Active Directory with Splunk, forwarding alerts and other data to Microsoft’s System Center Operations Manager, and performing a rudimentary topology discovery via an automated Splunk search with PowerShell.

Many of Splunk’s customers monitor very large Windows environments that have hundreds if not thousands of Universal Forwarders. They also use Active Directory for authentication, policy management and general asset organization. It turns out that they also use PowerShell extensively. So, why not develop a Splunk module for PowerShell?
