What is routr ?

routr is a simple if-this-then-that workflow app to share Splunk alerts on your Twitter or Tumblr. It is easy to install, configure and run. This app is bundled together with a sample Splunk saved search that searches on failed login events to post a tweet on Twitter or an article on Tumblr whenever the alert is triggered from your Splunk instance. The search is triggered every 1 minute and looks for matching events in the relative past 1 minute.
