splunk App for data power

[ChhayaV]

hi,

Is there any App available for IBM data power?

Thanks and regards

There is an app called DataPowerInsights created by McIndi Solutions LLC out of Washington NJ. You can get more information about the application by contacting [email protected]. I have been using the app for quite some time now and am completely satisfied with the app and the support I receive from the developers.

There is not currently an app for IBM data power, however customers are taking in that data into Splunk for correlation. It is relatively simple to bring a new data format into Splunk and report on the data.

IBM Datapower can be configured to send data using HTTP POST or HTTP GET on a periodic basis. I also believe you can configure it to send syslog, however that will limit the length of events that get sent. These links below show help you get a better understanding.

Can you please elaborate on the process of getting IBM Datapower data to splunk.
I believe IBM Datapower is an appliance so the feasibility of installing an UF is ruled out. Could it be done by syslog.
Am relatively new to this so any information would be helpful.
