Get started with Splunk Mobile

Get started with Splunk Mobile by installing the app, connecting securely to your Splunk platform instance, and accessing data and dashboards from anywhere in real time.

Receive live updates and visualizations triggered by your data from Splunk Mobile that you can organize, share, and respond to. Splunk Mobile is available for iOS, Android, and iPad devices, providing a seamless experience across different platforms.

You can also scale app delivery to a large number of mobile devices, secure content access, and manage data on mobile devices through Mobile Device Management (MDM) and in-app registration. With admin setup in Splunk Cloud Gateway and a compatible MDM provider, users can register and authenticate their devices directly in the Splunk Mobile app with their Splunk Enterprise credentials. Users won't need access to Splunk Cloud Gateway.
