The Oracle WebLogic App for Splunk Technology Add-on (TA) is bundled inside this package. It is designed for installation in a Splunk Universal Forwarder on your WebLogic AdminServer(s)s The TA has been validated on WebLogic 9i/v9.x, 10g/v10.x, 12c/v12.x). The TA polls your WLS AdminServers by the minute, hour, and daily for JMX data, and outputs the generated logging into monitored log files at /SPLUNK_HOME/var/log.
The app itself inclusive of the TA is highly dynamic as well as independent to maximize on the native behavior and functionality within Weblogic as well as Splunk. At it's core, the TA includes all the necessary technology to bridge the gap between these two technologies.
