NIFI-1420 Adding Splunk bundle
## Overview
This pull request adds a Splunk bundle with the following processors:
* **ListenSplunkForwarder** - Receives data from a Splunk forwarder, based
off the AbstractListenEventProcessor created during RELP work.
* **PutSplunk** - Delivers to Splunk Enterprise over TCP or UDP, based some
of the design off PutKafka for how to handle delimited messages, also created
an AbstractPutEventProcessor to make future "Put" TCP/UDP processors easier,
involved refactoring code from PutSyslog.
* **GetSplunk** - Extracts data from Splunk Enterprise based on a query,
processor provides ability to optionally specify a time range, or have the
processor manage the time ranges using the new state management API.
## Testing
### Download and extract the forwarder and Splunk enterprise:
http://www.splunk.com/en_us/download/universal-forwarder.html
http://www.splunk.com/en_us/download/splunk-enterprise.html
## Splunk Forwarder:
Edit/Create splunkforwarder/etc/system/local/outputs.conf and configure an
output for NiFi to listen to:
[tcpout:nifi]
server=localhost:6588
sendCookedData=false
Start the forwarder:
./splunkforwarder/bin/splunk start
At this point you can create a NiFi flow with ListenSplunkForwarder,
listening on TCP port 6588 and should be receiving data.
## Splunk Enterprise
Start Splunk Enterprise
./splunk/bin/splunk start
Go to http://localhost:8000 in your browser
Create an input from the Settings -> Data Inputs menu, create a TCP or UDP
input.
After that you should be able to use PutSplunk to deliver data to the input
created in the previous step, and GetSplunk to extract data.
