Hey Guiseppe,
So i will be ingesting power data from rack mounted PDUs, i currently have this sorted and working through an SNMP server using baboonbones application for splunk.
My issue is that the power that this is polling is extremely sensitive and as such from a security point of view it needs to be one way transmission only.
So the data flow will go
Network behind data diode
A splunk universal forwarder on raspberry pi 4 SNMP polling the power PDUs
Power PDUs replying back to the SNMP server on the raspberry pi
SNMP Server on Raspberry pi sends the data through a data diode UDP ONLY
once its passed that data diode everything still works fine. but due to the nature of the data diode information can only pass one way, from the power network behind the data diode, to the rest of the network (which is where the rest of my splunk deployment lives)
so the question is....
will the rest of my splunk deployment be happy if it cannot talk to the universal forwarder.... and yet still receive data from that universal forwarder?
A = UF
B = Data Diode
C = Splunk deployment
A - > B - > C (information into splunk)
C - > B XX C (splunk talking, maintaining, administrating the UF) it will not be able to get passed my data diode.
Many thanks
