How to use Splunk SPL commands to write better queries - Part I

Introduction As a software engineer, we are quite used to deal with logs in our daily lives, but in addition to ensuring that the necessary logs are being sent by the application itself or through a service mesh, we often have to go a little further and interact with some log tool to extract more meaningful data. This post is inspired by a problem I had to solve for a client who uses Splunk as their main data analysis tool and this is the first in a series of articles where we will delve deeper and learn how to use different Splunk commands. Running Splunk with Docker To run Splunk with docker, just run the following command: docker run -d —rm -p 8000:8000 -e SPLUNK_START_ARGS=--accept-license -e SPLUNK_PASSWORD=SOME_PASSWORD --name splunk splunk/splunk:latest Sample Data We are going to use the sample data provided by Splunk. You can find more information and download the zip file from their web site . How does it work? In order to be able to interact with Splunk t

How to run OPA in Docker

From the introduction of the openpolicyagent.org site: OPA generates policy decisions by evaluating the query input against policies and data. In this post i am going to show you an easy and fast way to test your policies by running OPA in Docker. First, make sure you have already installed Docker and have it running: docker ps Inside your choosen directory, create two files. One called input.json file for your system representation and one file called example.rego for your rego policy rules. Add the following content to your json file: Add the following content for the example.rego: Each violation block represents the rule that you want to validate your system against. The first violation block checks if any of the system servers have the http protocol in it. If that is the case, the server id is added to the array. In the same way, the second violation block checks for the servers that have the telnet protocol in it and if it finds a match the server id is also
