Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Overview

Details

Version 7.0.0 and above of the Splunk Add-on for AWS includes a merge of all the capabilities of the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Security Lake. Configure the Splunk Add-on for AWS to ingest across all AWS data sources for ingesting AWS data into your Splunk platform deployment.

If you use both the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Security Lake as well as the Splunk Add-on for AWS on the same Splunk instance, then you must uninstall the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Security Lake before upgrading the Splunk Add-on for AWS to version 7.0.0 or later in order to avoid any data duplication and discrepancy issues.

Ingesting data from AWS to Splunk Cloud? Have you tried the new Splunk Data Manager yet? Data Manager makes AWS data ingestion simpler, more automated and centrally managed for you, while co-existing with AWS and/or Kinesis TAs. Read our blog post to learn more about Data Manager and it’s availability on your Splunk Cloud instance: https://splk.it/3e9F863
