Overview
Directly access a remote Splunk from a Windows PowerShell session. This PowerShell Cmdlet takes a search string as input and returns the search results as XML. It can be invoked from a Windows Powershell and directed at any remote Splunk Search Head or Indexer.
PowerShell is an advanced command line shell (CLI) for Windows SAs or developers. Including Splunk into the PowerShell ecosystem means Splunk tasks and sessions can be scripted and automated or just provide a more convenient way of using Splunk and searching log files. Sometimes a web interface is not the most convenient UI.
As a bonus, the same search Cmdlet is implemented three different ways: pure PowerShell, C# and F#. The C# or F# versions will be useful if someone wants to extend or enhance the Cmdlet in interesting ways.
