To verify that your setup is working, run a Live Capture in your Cribl Stream Splunk TCP Source with appropriate filters. The nf for the Universal Forwarder with Splunk Stream App is the same as for a Universal Forwarder with a non-streaming collector. Splunk_stream_app_location = :8000/en-us/custom/splunk_app_stream/ Adapt the example stanza below, replacing the placeholder with the hostname or IP address of your management host. You'll need to add a new nf stanza pointing to your Splunk Stream App management instance.

Install the Stream TA on the Universal Forwarder targets, either manually or via the deployment server. See the section below – either Forwarder-based or ISF – that corresponds to your use case.

Here, we'll explain one small part of the Splunk configuration process: how to configure Splunk Stream to send the data it captures to Cribl Stream. You'll manage the collector's settings in Splunk Enterprise.įor the broader Splunk configuration story, see Splunk's documentation. In either case, the collector process (not to be confused with a Cribl Stream Collector) will need to call home to a Splunk Enterprise process with the Splunk Stream app installed. As an independent stream forwarder (we'll call this the ISF config), running on a compatible Linux machine, and sending data to a Cribl Stream Splunk HEC Source.As part of a Splunk Universal Forwarder (we'll call this the forwarder‑based config), sending data to a Cribl Stream Splunk TCP Source or.You can deploy Splunk Stream in either of two forms: This adds up to a collector for streaming data. Splunk Stream is a set of three Splunk packages that, combined, enable you to capture and work with streams of network event data.

eventtypes_confs : These configuration files define logical groupings of events based upon rules defined around specific criteria such as source type or a key word contained within an event message field which can be leveraged when generating reports across multiple sources or source types containing similar event messages containing common keywords being stored within a single index instance for searchable reporting over extended periods if time across these various log sources with disparate formats at scale. nf: This config file is used to define custom regular expressions or other criteria (e/g sourcetypes) that can be used to transform raw event data into normalized fields during index time processing using props-based configurations defined in props-based configurations defined in props-based configurations defined in it's associated transforms stanza files within this configuration directory structure (apps//local).ĥ.

nf: This config file sets properties for fields extracted from the data input streams specified in nf such as field name aliases and field value renaming patterns that are used during indexing time transformations on events to improve search performance and accuracy of results in searches over indexed data sets.Ĥ. nf: This config file defines where to send data once it has been indexed by Splunk, such as TCP or UDP ports and destination host names.ģ. nf: This config file defines the data inputs that Splunk should monitor, including file and directory locations, port numbers, and other conditions for monitoring.Ģ. The following are examples of some of the most common configuration files used in Splunk:ġ.
