Splunk Add-on for AWS license

Can we use Splunk Add-on for AWS for free or it requires a license to be used with Splunk Enterprise free trial?

@neerajdhiman Yes, you can use it for free. Download the add-on and install it on Heavy forwarder to ingest data. While Splunk Enterprise has a free trial, its trial license typically includes limited ingestion capacity (500 MB/day). The AWS Add-on facilitates data ingestion from AWS services like CloudWatch, CloudTrail, S3, etc., and the volume of ingested data could exceed the free trial limit quickly.
