Quick start

 This way presumes that you have already configured application package for your FixEdge installation.
 
 Simple web-UI approach:

* Go to splunk instance's home page http://localhost:8000/
* Go to splunk's menu "Apps->Manage apps"
* Click a button "Install app from file"
* Click a button "Browse" then navigate through dialog window to the folder with splunk application package
* Choose a file FixEdgeViewer.*.tar.gz (in place of * should be suffix appropriate to your system - such as Windows or Linux) then click "Open"
* Click "Upload" to install application into splunk server

Server adminstrator approach: It's even simpler from deployment POV -

 Just unpack app package into splunk application directory like %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\app or $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/app then restart splunk instance.

Now you can go to splunk instance's home page. There should be app button named "FixEdgeViewer".

By clicking it you now can view FixEdge.log of your FixEdge instance:

This app allows you to filter log events by criterion such as category, severity, their combinations or custom filter expression. Also you can set maximum amount of records to see in search result and time period you look up through. Also for convenience this app has some filter presets (predefined criterion combinations). You can further inspect the context of some event by clicking on a row in a selection table.

Configure app package

 This way presumes that you have custom FixEdge configuration, so it has different installation path/instance(s) name(s) than default one.
 
 In this case you have several options to configure.
 
 First unpack FixEdgeViewer.*.tar.gz.
 Then find in unpacked directory and edit inputs.conf: you should correct here your hostname with FixEdge installation and path to log file to monitor by splunk.
 For windows installation:
[default]
host = WINDOWSHOSTNAME
[monitor://C:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\v.5.7.0.62202\FixEdge1\log\FixEdge.log]
 For Linux installation:
[default]
host = LINUXHOSTNAME
[monitor:///opt/FIXEdge/v.5.7.0.62202/FixEdge1/log/FixEdge.log]

Now either pack configured application and go through "Quick start" work flow or... just copy app directory into splunk applications directory.
