I'm using Splunk Enterprise (licensed) and i want to connect to an external MongoDB to search data stored there. I don't to want to index any of this data.
- I don't have a Hunk license. Can i still use the Hunk App for MongoDB?
- Is it viable to use Splunk DB connect?
Already looked into some posts here but most are almost 2 years old and some of the answers are not really enlightening on a good way to achieve this.
I was working with the Unity JDBC driver ( http://www.unityjdbc.com/mongojdbc/mongo_jdbc.php ) and got DB Connect to work with MongoDB using this stanza
[mongo2]
displayName = MongoDB2
serviceClass = com.splunk.dbx2.DefaultDBX2JDBC
jdbcUrlFormat = jdbc:mongodb:// < host > : < port > / < database >
jdbcDriverClass = mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver
port = 27017
