I'm a bit confused by the options. Some of them seem to be about other programs, not the "Identify New Entries" program itself. I'll need to re-read the question carefully.

The Splunk REST API? Psh, that's a no-brainer. Unless you enjoy typing support tickets and playing sysadmin with the host OS. This ain't the 90s, folks.
