Instrument a Python application

Instrument a Python application with the Secure Application Python extension.

Secure Application integrates runtime vulnerability detection into your Python applications through a Python extension (secureapp-python-agent) that works with the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Python (also called the Splunk Python agent).

Your Python application launches with the Splunk Python agent enabled. The agent does the following:

  • Sends vulnerability and library data to the Splunk Observability Cloud back end.

  • Collects potential attack events at runtime.

  • Reports data once at application startup and then every 24 hours thereafter.
