What are Splunk apps?

Splunk apps are designed as packages that contain various components like configurations, dashboards, and knowledge objects tailored for specific use cases. They enhance the functionality of Splunk by providing users with customized tools and visualizations that cater to particular data sources or analytics needs. This makes it easier for users to extract insights and manage data efficiently, as the apps are structured to support specific workflows or use cases, allowing for a more streamlined and focused experience.

The other choices present different concepts that do not accurately encapsulate what Splunk apps are. For example, standalone applications running outside of Splunk do not leverage the unique features and integrations that Splunk apps provide. Mobile applications for accessing Splunk services, while they can exist, are a different category and do not represent the essence of Splunk apps. Templates for creating new user interfaces may offer a framework for development, but they do not convey the specific purpose and content found in Splunk apps.
