@kgiri253 , I was never a great fan of minimal throughput from the forwarders and tiny memory buffers on the Splunk servers. In my mind, these strict low quotas lead to issues, like yours in many cases. ... View more

Copilot said -  Hi Javi, Yes, it’s possible to forward data from Splunk to third-party services like AWS EventBridge or Lambda, but it’s not a native feature out of the box. Splunk primarily ingests and indexes data, but you can achieve this forwarding through a few approaches: HTTP Event Collector (HEC) + AWS Integration Splunk can send data via HTTP Event Collector to an endpoint. You could set up an AWS API Gateway or Lambda function to receive these events and then route them to EventBridge. Splunk Add-ons or Apps There are Splunkbase apps and add-ons for AWS that can help with integration. For example, the Splunk Add-on for AWS is typically used for ingestion, but custom scripts or modular inputs can be adapted for forwarding. Custom Scripts / Modular Outputs Splunk supports custom alert actions or scripted outputs. You can configure Splunk to trigger a script whenever new data matches certain criteria, and that script can call AWS APIs to forward the data. Third-Party Middleware Some organizations use a message bus (like Kafka or Kinesis) as an intermediary between Splunk and AWS services for scalability and reliability. Summary: Splunk doesn’t automatically forward all ingested data to AWS, but with HEC, custom alert actions, or middleware, you can build a pipeline where Azure → Splunk → AWS EventBridge/Lambda works as you described. Would you like me to draft a step-by-step guide for setting up Splunk to forward data to AWS Lambda or EventBridge? Or should I prepare a diagram of the architecture for this flow? ... View more

From AI - To configure Splunk and uberAgent, first install the Splunk apps on your Splunk server by uploading the files from the uberAgent download. Then, enable the HTTP Event Collector (HEC) in Splunk's global settings to allow uberAgent to send data to it. Apparently, the uberAgent works with HEC and then you can send the data stream straight to the indexers, does it make sense? ... View more

Sorry @PickleRick, but try please to view a truncated json object, it's a mess ; -)  ... View more

TRUNCATE has its default value at 10,000 characters but a JSON event is a one-liner, and trimming it "breaks" the entire presentation of the object, so we internally here decided to make the default unlimited for JSON cases, the only thing is to find a way to classify them automatically and not handle each JSON case individually. If anybody has a generic solution, please share. ... View more

I guess the following explains it in the url from above - -- If you change a single file in the users directory, the deployer redeploys the entire users tarball to the captain. This is because the users directory is typically modified and redeployed only during upgrade or migration, unlike the apps directory, which might see regular updates during the lifetime of the cluster. ...
