Can you install the AWS ELB app on Splunk Enterprise or Cloud?

Can this app be installed on Cloud or Enterprise?

Still not possible?

No, the app will not work as expected in Splunk Cloud or Enterprise. Its written for Hunk, and will throw this error:

Error in 'ResultProvider': Permission denied. License does not allow execution of searches for virtual_index=elb, provider_family=hadoop

I did spend some time today re-working it to run on Splunk Cloud / Enterprise. In it, I have removed the inputs.conf and changed the sourcetype to be elb, not aws_elb.

This app assumes you have your s3: input working somehow and putting in the data as sourcetype=elb

You can get the modded version of it here.

I did talk to the creator of the ELB Hunk app, Dritan, and he said this:

the app remains Hunk only because we
don¹t have an [official] S3 input yet.
In fact, when we do, there are
optimizations that [will be made].
