Eventgen
Overview
Details
Eventgen allows an app developer to get events into Splunk to test their applications. It provides a somewhat ridiculous amount of configurability to allow users to simulate real data.

The Splunk Event Generator
The Splunk Event Generator is a utility which allows its user to easily build real-time event generators.
The current maintainers of this project are Brian Bingham (bbingham@splunk.com), Tony Lee (tonyl@splunk.com), and Jack Meixensperger (jackm@splunk.com).
The goals of this project:
- Eliminate the need for hand coded event generators in Splunk apps
- Allow for portability of event generators between applications and allow templates to be quickly adapted between use cases
- Allow every type of event or transaction to be modeled inside Eventgen
