Splunk Integration¶
This guide covers how to configure Splunk integration with the Traceable Platform for SIEM connectivity.
Overview¶
Traceable Platform supports integration with Splunk to forward security events and notifications using Splunk's HTTP Event Collector (HEC).
Prerequisites¶
- Splunk instance with HTTP Event Collector (HEC) enabled
- HEC token generated in Splunk
- Network connectivity from Traceable Platform to Splunk HEC endpoint
Configuration Steps¶
To integrate Splunk with Traceable, navigate to Integrations → SIEM/SOAR. Click on the Splunk card and fill in the following details:
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Integration Name | A descriptive name for the integration (e.g., Splunk-Traceable Integration) |
Yes |
| Description | Optional description for the integration | No |
| Splunk HTTP Event Collector URL | The URL of your Splunk HEC endpoint (e.g., https://http-inputs-<instance>.splunkcloud.com/services/collector/raw) |
Yes |
| Splunk API Token | The HEC token generated in Splunk | Yes |
Example Configuration¶
- Integration Name:
Splunk-Traceable Integration - Splunk HTTP Event Collector URL:
https://http-inputs-mizuhous.splunkcloud.com/services/collector/raw - Splunk API Token:
<your-hec-token>
After entering the details, click Validate to test the connection. If successful, you will see "Test connection successful". Click Save to save the integration.
Splunk HEC Setup¶
Enable HTTP Event Collector¶
- In Splunk, navigate to Settings → Data Inputs
- Click on HTTP Event Collector
- Click Global Settings and ensure HEC is enabled
- Click New Token to create a new HEC token
Configure HEC Token¶
- Provide a name for the token
- Select the appropriate source type (e.g.,
traceable) - Select the index where events should be stored
- Important: Uncheck "Enable Indexer Acknowledgement" to avoid "Data channel is missing" errors
- Save the token and copy it for use in Traceable
