======= Splunk Version Manager

svm is a command that allows you to switch between different splunks in your terminal.

Additionally, the included bashrc will enhance your prompt to show the currently selected splunk and the splunkd ports of all running splunk instances under SPLUNK_BASE.

Installing

svm supplies a set of bash functions. Edit the included bashrc to specify the location where your Splunks are located (SPLUNK_BASE), and to specify a default Splunk (SPLUNK_DEFAULT).

svm assumes that your splunks are installed in different folders under the SPLUNK_BASE folder.

Include the bashrc in your ~/.bashrc

source /path/to/svm/bashrc

On Mac OSX you may not have a default bashrc, in which case, create the bashrc as above, then place the following in your ~/.bash_profile

[[ -s ~/.bashrc ]] && source ~/.bashrc

Using

Switching to the my-test-splunk install: svm my-test-splunk
