The AppDynamics-Splunk integration gives you a single, cohesive view of data gathered by AppDynamics and Splunk. The AppDynamics-Splunk integration gives you the ability to:
Launch Splunk searches using auto-populated queries from the AppDynamics Console based on criteria such as time ranges and node IP address.
Push notifications on policy violations and events from AppDynamics to Splunk.
Mine performance data from AppDynamics using the Controller REST API and push it into Splunk.

You can launch a search of your Splunk logs for a specific time frame associated with a transaction snapshot from several points in AppDynamics.
To be able to launch a Splunk search, you need:
Splunk credentials. The first time that you launch a Splunk search, you are prompted to provide your Splunk credentials. After this, your credentials are cached by the browser.
Splunk Server must be running.
Your browser is configured to allow pop-ups.
Enable Pop-ups
