I can import the logs easy enough, but I'm not sure what's the best way to go about getting the SQL data in. I know that I can import via a CSV and that there's also some SQL import scripts, but what would be the best way to import this?</P> Wed, 02 Dec 2015 14:41:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259912#M49879 lcroce 2015-12-02T14:41:12Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259913#M49880 <P>Check out the Splunk DB Connect apps at <A href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/958/">https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/958/</A> and <A href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2686/">https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2686/</A>,</P> Wed, 02 Dec 2015 15:02:18 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259913#M49880 richgalloway 2015-12-02T15:02:18Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259914#M49881 <P>Have you looked at this?</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.0.11/DeployDBX/Setupadatabaselookuptable">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.0.11/DeployDBX/Setupadatabaselookuptable</A></P> Wed, 02 Dec 2015 15:02:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259914#M49881 sundareshr 2015-12-02T15:02:40Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259915#M49882 <P>Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look like this would work well with SplunkCloud or am I missing something?</P> Wed, 02 Dec 2015 17:58:28 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259915#M49882 lcroce 2015-12-02T17:58:28Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259916#M49883 <P>The steps the use the web interface should work in Splunk Cloud. You cannot edit .conf files. You can ask tech support to edit them for you, but that shouldn't be necessary if the web interface worked. Of course, this assumes your SQL database can be reached from the cloud.</P> Wed, 02 Dec 2015 18:10:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259916#M49883 richgalloway 2015-12-02T18:10:36Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259917#M49884 <P>So basically, I'm limited to csv style import because this database is internal only. Thanks, though. I'll keep this in mind for the future.</P> Wed, 02 Dec 2015 19:20:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-is-the-best-practice-for-importing-SQL-data-in-Splunk-Cloud/m-p/259917#M49884 lcroce 2015-12-02T19:20:17Z
