Splunkbase is the way to go. Although, I heard a rumor they hide the good stuff behind a paywall. Just kidding, it's all free, right?

Splunkbase, of course! Where else would you find Splunk-related downloads? It's like the App Store for Splunk admins.

B) Cloud Monitoring Console forwarder drop-down sounds like the easiest option, but I'm not sure if that's the official way to get the credentials.
