Custom REST Command (crest)

The Custom REST Command (crest) app is designed to streamline and enhance your Splunk environment by enabling direct interaction with RESTful APIs through Splunk searches. Modern IT operations often require insights from multiple systems, making API integrations critical but often cumbersome. Traditional methods can involve external tools, additional scripts, or manual processes that disrupt workflows and slow down decision-making. The crest command addresses this by providing a seamless, native way to send HTTP requests (GET, POST, DELETE) directly from Splunk. This empowers users to fetch, update, or delete data from external systems in real time, fully leveraging Splunk’s data visualization and analysis capabilities. Whether you're integrating with third-party services, automating repetitive tasks, or interacting with internal APIs, crest ensures efficiency, speed, and simplicity. Why You Need This App 1.
