Working with Splunk Indexes using Windows PowerShell

By Hal Rottenberg

 In my last post, I talked about a way to use PowerShell to ease the installation of our Splunk App for VMware. This time, we’ll be using PowerShell in a much different way. As you might already know, the Splunk dev team has made a very robust set of REST API hooks for the product. What you may not know is that this enabled some other talented guys to build a PowerShell module which you can use not only to get data into and out of Splunk, but also to manage your Splunk infrastructure.
