Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Overview

Details

The Splunk Add-on for AWS, from version 7.0.0 and above, includes a merge of all the capabilities of the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Security Lake. This allows you to configure the Splunk Add-on for AWS to ingest data across all AWS data sources, facilitating the integration of 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
