What are Splunk’s Data Management Pipeline Builders?

Splunk’s Data Management Pipeline Builders are the latest innovation in data processing. They offer more efficient, flexible data transformation – helping you reduce noise, optimize costs, and gain visibility and control over your data in motion.

Splunk Data Management pipeline builders are offered with a choice of deployment model:

  • Edge Processor is a customer-hosted offering for greater control over data before it leaves your network boundaries. You can use it to filter, mask, and transform your data close to its source before routing the processed data to the environment of your choice. 
  • Ingest Processor is a Splunk-hosted SaaS offering ideal for customers who are all-in on cloud and prefer that Splunk manage the infrastructure for them. In addition to filtering, masking and transforming data, it enables a new capability - converting logs to metrics.
