Hello guys

I have an index, stored in active directory. Is there a possibility to make my splunk instance extract data from this index?
And if so, help me please with direction of movement

Thanks

What exactly do you mean by index in this case? Not the Splunk sense of index I guess?

In general: yes you can collect data from Active Directory. Either by crafting your own powershell scripts for instance to make ldap queries. Or by using the ldapsearch add-on: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1151/

Settings - Access Controls - Authentication method (radiobutton LDAP) - Configure Splunk to use LDAP
and then, map roles to AD group.
