Splunk is a data platform that helps for expansive data access, powerful analytics, and automation in real-time.

Set up a connection

After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required * authentication settings:

Setting

Instructions

Name your connection *

Enter a clear and distinguishable name.

Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.

Subdomain *

Enter your Splunk subdomain.

For example, if your Splunk account is located at

https://your-domain.splunkcloud.net,then your-domain is the subdomain.

Auth type *

Select Token as the authentication type for this connection (the basic auth option is described separately).

Token *

Enter your Splunk token.

Multiple layers of protection, including AES 256 encryption, are in place to keep your token safe. When editing this connection, you must re-enter this value each time; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text.
