[Vipin_Pavithran]

Hi All,

I'm new to Splunk,  please let me know if  it possible to integrate with SaaS application which hosed on 3rd party cloud platform (Tencent Cloud).

We have never used Splunk to integrate SaaS application for logging, so I have no idea how Splunk gathering log files through internet.  Any APIs or guidance can share us for reference?

Thanks in advance.

There are a few ways to onboard data into Splunk.

Install a universal forwarder on the server to send log files to Splunk
Have the server send syslog data to Splunk via a syslog server or Splunk Connect for Syslog
Use the server's API to extract data for indexing
Use Splunk DB Connect to pull data from the server's SQL database.
