Seems to me the best way would be to have Cisco devices send syslog messages to Splunk.

A couple of interesting plugins you might be interested in:
Cisco Security Suite
Cisco Firewalls
Cisco Ironport Web Security Appliance

Example config for cisco device:


configure terminal
(config)# logging thesplunkserver
(config)# logging trap 5
(config)# end
show logging

Example splunk etc/apps/search/local/inputs.conf:


[udp://20001]
connection_host = ip
index = cisco_asa
sourcetype = syslog
