Intro
Splunk produces software for searching, monitoring, and analyzing machine-generated big data. Use Domo's Splunk connector to retrieve data about clusters, deployments, server settings, licenses, and much more. To learn more about the Splunk API, visit their page (http://dev.splunk.com/restapi).
You connect to your Splunk account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Splunk connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your Splunk account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
-
The Splunk host URL
-
Your Splunk username and password
-
The Splunk port number
Before you connect to Splunk in Domo, you should whitelist the following IP addresses to your Splunk account:
54.208.95.237
54.208.87.122
54.208.95.167

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Splunk Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Splunk account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:
