Is it possible to connect Splunk data to PowerBI?

[ssuluguri]

Hi team,

We have got a requirement "some dashboarding in PowerBI and connecting it to Splunk for data." 

Is it possible in splunkcloud environment ?

If yes , can you please help me with steps to configure

Hi, 

@ssuluguri I have got the same requirement from a couple of customers recently where they want to integrate those 2 platforms for data insights. I have been in discussions with some developers and it's likely there will be a Splunk monitoring app for Power BI because of the demand. This will help enterprise tremendously with those data insights challenges. 

I'll keep you posted for some updates 😉

@ssuluguri - Try some of these references:

1. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ODBC/3.1.1/UseODBC/PowerBI
   • https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1606 
2. https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4798
3. Above one of these should work, if not another option is definetly to use Splunk Rest endpoints to directly write code and fetch data through API.

I hope this helps!!!

If we are using SPlunk ODBC driver to pull the report form Splunk, is that the data gets refreshed automatically in power BI, once the report gets updated in SPlunk?

@ssuluguri - You have to go through the App documentation on Splunkbase to figure out prerequisites and more details. And test them on development environment to fing out which one suits your requirement best.
