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 IntegrationsSIEM/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

  1. In Splunk, navigate to SettingsData Inputs
  2. Click on HTTP Event Collector
  3. Click Global Settings and ensure HEC is enabled
  4. Click New Token to create a new HEC token

Configure HEC Token

  1. Provide a name for the token
  2. Select the appropriate source type (e.g., traceable)
  3. Select the index where events should be stored
  4. Important: Uncheck "Enable Indexer Acknowledgement" to avoid "Data channel is missing" errors
  5. Save the token and copy it for use in Traceable
