Hi All,
I am new to Power BI. My question is, how do we integrate between Splunk and Power BI.
Is there an Official guide or manual from Splunk on how we configure this integration for both ?
Cheers
Zamir
Hi @zmanaf
Please can you confirm if you are trying to pull Splunk data into Power BI, or pull Power BI data in to Splunk?
While there isn't an official guide from Splunk specifically for integrating with Power BI, there are several approaches you can take to achieve this integration. Here are some common methods, with the post popular being using the Splunk ODBC Driver:
If you want to go down the Splunk ODBC Driver route then these are the steps you will need to go through:
If you are looking to query Power BI from Splunk (which is less common) then there are various APIs available from Power BI, you will need to create an Application in Azure Entra to provide you with credentials to connect to the Power BI API., Let me know if you need more information on this and I will try and find examples, although it isnt something I have done myself.
Please let me know how you get on and consider adding karma to this or any other answer if it has helped.
Regards
Will
As already said, please define what you are meaning with word integrate!
Here is one conf presentation about splunk and power bi https://conf.splunk.com/files/2022/slides/PLA1122B.pdf
Another method is to connect Splunk data to Power BI using the REST API. This approach requires some configuration and understanding of your Splunk data. You can find a general guide on how to do this in the https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-Connect-Splunk-data-using-rest-api/td-p/344...
CData Power BI Connector: CData offers a Power BI Connector for Splunk, which simplifies the process of connecting and visualizing Splunk data in Power BI. You can follow their complete guide https://www.cdata.com/kb/tech/splunk-powerbi-gateway.rst
