Github Modular Input

The Github Modular Input uses the Github REST API to pull commit information into Splunk in a convenient JSON format. This data can be used to analyze productivity patterns and can be correlated with data from build servers and production log data to quickly identify the cause of production changes and provide visibility into the entire application delivery cycle. This app is based on an example from the Splunk Javascript SDK and there is a great blog post by the original author describing its implementation at http://blogs.splunk.com/2014/09/17/new-support-for-authoring-modular-inputs-in-node-js/ .
