How to get data to Splunk from a Raspberry Pi?

[ankitsaini20]

I am working on a school project to gather temperature data from a room through a Raspberry Pi. This data comes from a BME280 sensor and is relayed through python to output the temperature. I want to be able to forward this data to Splunk and display it real time using Splunk Ar. 

Does anyone know how I would be able to get my data from my Raspberry Pi to my Splunk Enterprise?

Use the HTTP Event Collector (HEC), which is simple enough to do. You just have to put the data in JSON format with the index, sourcetype, etc. in the JSON string along with the data package and send it to the HEC endpoint that you activate on your IDX layer via an HTTP request. If you are already getting that data into a python script, it can make the HTTP call to the HEC endpoint immediately and the data will be in your IDXs within seconds.

Depends on how complicated you want it to be 😉

But seriously, just create a tcp or udp input on your splunk server and send syslog messages to it.

You can of course install universal forwarder for arm and use it to ingest data from file but in this case I'd say it's an overkill.
