This Tech Talk will take Splunk admins through a series of available methods to Get Data In (GDI) to their Splunk environment.   We will show you how Splunk has the native capabilities to ingest virtually any type of data in a variety of supported and proven methods.

Tune in to learn about:

  • The ability to gather data from any Linux or Windows hosts.
  • The best practices to create lossless syslog ingress from practically any number of sources.
  • How to create TCP data ingress over any port from any custom application or use case.
  • Using APIs to send or receive data, including data collection over HTTPS Event Collector (HEC).
