I have connected a microcontroller via USB to my PC. The microcontroller is sending Accelerometer, gyroscope and current sensor data to the PC via that port. Normally if I want to read that data, I read it through a data logger software and write it in a .csv file. But I wanted to know if there is any way to read it directly to splunk instead of going through csv.</P> Wed, 08 Jun 2016 22:12:37 GMT tusharkulkarnie 2016-06-08T22:12:37Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-read-data-coming-in-through-a-virtual-COM-port/m-p/201263#M39814 <P>Hello,</P> <P>I am using splunk for the first time. I wanted to read data coming in through a virtual COM port into Splunk in real time. Is there a way to do that?<BR /> Step wise solution would be appreciated. </P> <P>Thanks a lot.!</P> Wed, 08 Jun 2016 19:39:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-read-data-coming-in-through-a-virtual-COM-port/m-p/201263#M39814 tusharkulkarnie 2016-06-08T19:39:04Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-read-data-coming-in-through-a-virtual-COM-port/m-p/201264#M39815 <P>Are you talking about RS-232 virtual COM port? If so, I doubt there is any ready-to-use solution. If not, can you describe a little more detail a virtual COM port? OS and the data output format? </P> Wed, 08 Jun 2016 22:04:56 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-read-data-coming-in-through-a-virtual-COM-port/m-p/201264#M39815 Masa 2016-06-08T22:04:56Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-read-data-coming-in-through-a-virtual-COM-port/m-p/201265#M39816 <P>I am working on windows.

The tool output needs to be passed to a standard out or write to a log file where Splunk can monitor. </P> Wed, 08 Jun 2016 22:42:35 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-read-data-coming-in-through-a-virtual-COM-port/m-p/201266#M39817 Masa 2016-06-08T22:42:35Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-read-data-coming-in-through-a-virtual-COM-port/m-p/201267#M39818 <P>Okay.
