How do I access data in Splunk via PowerBi?

I have a local install of SPlunk Enterprise 9.0.4.1 64bit, I installed the 64bit ODBC Driver and configured the data source. 

I then go to PowerBi to GetData via ODBC, I get a list of tables. When I select a table some data visible while some tables generate an error as follows:

DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Splunk][SplunkODBC] (140) The saved search returned no results.
Details:
DataSourceKind=Odbc
DataSourcePath=dsn=Splunk ODBC
OdbcErrors=[Table]

I do not see find my data or field extractions from Splunk. Any ideas?

You were correct, my search report needed modification in Splunk. Thereafter I was able to see the Table in PowerBi that was named the same as my Saved Search Report.

 

Thanks again, Hector

Sometimes it's normal for a search to return no results.  It may be that there is no data that meets the search criteria.  This is especially true for searches that look for error conditions.

Have you tried running the search within Splunk to see what it returns?
