Some of my customers are using Splunk as their SIEM solution. I have a security platform that needs to integrate into their Splunk to send security events (probably syslog) into a certain index (might be an existing or brand new one). I already made a PoC using HEC and successfully managed to deliver my syslog events into an index in my test Splunk account (using Splunk Cloud Platform). The setup process that my customers will have to do for the integration using HEC is to create a new data input, create a token, and eventually deliver it to me (alongside their Splunk hostname). Now I'm wondering if this process can somehow be simplified using an app/add-on. Not sure exactly what is functionality using an add-on gives and if I can somehow leverage it in order to simplify the integration onboarding process between my security product and my customers. Is there anything else I should consider? Would love to know, I'm completely new to Splunk. Also, case it matters, most of my customers, are using Splunk Cloud Platform but in the future there might be customers that will have Splunk Enterprise, case it matters. Thanks
