There are a few basic ways to integrate with Splunk. Choose the ones that work best for your application and environment.

1. Find an app in splunkbase that integrates the tool.
2. Install a universal forwarder on the tool's server to forward logs to Splunk.
3. Have the tool send syslog to Splunk via a syslog server.
4. Use the DB Connect app to read the tool's database.
5. Create a modular input that leverages the tool's API.
