This week I put up on GitHub an early version of a Splunk logging API for iPhone developers, call SPLogger [1] .  We’d love feedback, code contributions, suggestion.  The SPLogger API allows iPhone developers to log events in their application and have them go to Splunk Storm (www.splunkstorm.com [2] ), which is free for up to a GB of data. If you currently have no insight into how your app is being used, or by whom, this can come in handy, and of course you’ll have the full power of SPL [3] , Splunk’s search language.
To get the SPLogger API, download it via either method:
By using SPLogger, all events from all mobile devices are uploaded to splunkstorm.com, where you can do amazing analytics on your apps and users. Â Here is just a taste.
Show the top 10 users of my apps:
sourcetype=splogger | top 10 host Show the top 5 hardware types:
sourcetype=splogger | top 5 sys_machine, sys_model Of the users on level 5 of my game, what is the rate of success or failure (assumes I logged with properties called ‘level’ and ‘success’):
sourcetype=splogger level=5 | stats count by success: Show a chart of usage by time, broken up by each of my apps:
sourcetype=splogger | timechart count by source How long do users typical use my apps, assuming a 5 minute pause means the user is done:
sourcetype=splogger | transaction host maxpause=5m | stats min(duration), max(duration), avg(duration)
