Splunk Enterprise (On-prem)

Splunk is a software platform that indexes and correlates information in a container that makes it easy to search and monitor. It allows organizations to search, analyze and visualize the machine-generated data gathered from the websites, applications, sensors, devices etc.

In order to integrate Splunk with Relyance AI you will need your Splunk Url, Port, and either an API Key* or *Username / Password.

Depending on your Splunk instance, you may need to add the Relyance NAT gateway IP addresses from the article

Relyance AI IP Addresses for Allow Lists in the IP allowlist.

In Splunk:

1. Login to your Splunk account.
2. You'll find the Splunk URL in your browser's address bar.
3. The Port is the port used for your Splunk Search Heads. This is typically port 8089. Obtain credentials
4. There are 2 methods to connect to Splunk Enterprise:
   • Using an account with a Username and Password. If following this method, it is recommended to use a service account with read-only permissions. Once you have your Username and Password, continue configuring the integration in Relyance.
   • Using a Splunk API Token ( API KEY ). Follow the directions on this page to create a Splunk Authentication token: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/CreateAuthTokens

In the Relyance AI application:

1. Login to your Relyance account.

2. Navigate to the Settings Menu in the bottom left-hand side.

3. Select Integrations.

4. Find the Splunk Enterprise (On-Prem) integration card and click it to open its connections.

5. On the Authentication step, pick the method under Authentication Method.

   The Authentication step asks for:

   • Using API Key —
     • Host: Host used for Splunk Enterprise; required.
     • Port: Port Used for Splunk Enterprise; required.
     • API key: Token; optional; held as a secret.
   • Using User / Password —
     • Host: Host used for Splunk Enterprise; required.
     • Port: Port Used for Splunk Enterprise; required.
     • User: Port Used for Splunk Enterprise; required.
     • Password: Password; optional; held as a secret.

6. Choose either API Key or User / Password from the drop-down menu.

7. Paste the required values into their respective fields.
8. To discover vendors automatically in your Splunk instance, check the Enable Vendor Discovery checkbox.
9. Check the Enable Data Inspection checkbox to do a deeper data discovery.
10. Click Connect.
11. At this point, you should see the following result on the Integrations page:

12. Congratulations, you are now connected to Splunk Enterprise (On-prem).

If the connection reports Connected but returns nothing

These are the ways this integration comes back empty without reporting an error. Generated from the integration catalog, so it tracks what the connection actually asks for.

1. A credential rotated at the vendor is not picked up here. API key and Password are stored when you save the connection, so regenerating the value at the vendor breaks the next scan until it is re-pasted here. Recording the expiry on the connection means Relyance warns you before it lapses.
2. Check the address fields before suspecting the credentials. Host identifies which tenant, region or host to talk to. A wrong value there fails authentication and looks exactly like a bad secret.

Manage this integration with Terraform

Connections for this integration can be managed as code with the Relyance Terraform provider. Non-secret fields go in auth.params; secret fields go in auth.secrets_wo, which is write-only — never stored in Terraform state. Rotate secrets by bumping auth.secrets_wo_version.
