I want to drive queries in splunk via Excel (using ODBC source). Is that supported, are there any concerns with this approach?
The Splunk ODBC driver is now being developed. See http://apps.splunk.com/app/1606/ and http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ODBC
Splunk is not based on a RDBMS, so access via ODBC is not supported out of the box.However, you might be interested in the MySQL interface development effort: http://www.splunk.com/view/splunk-mse/SP-CAAAFSE
