Splunk Add-On for AWS

Hi,

Has anyone setup Splunk Add-On for AWS with the Splunk Servers On Prem?
How did you setup the access? What IAM Roles were setup? Do you still need to enter the KeyID & Secret Keys when configuring the Add-On. Using EC2Role doesn't require it, but our Splunk is not on an EC2 Instance.

Thanks.

Hi @aknsun,

As you mentioned if you're running the app in your own AWS environment the EC2 Role is auto-discovered. That won't happen on prem so you will still have the same two options but you'll have to manually create them whether it's using EC2 IAM roles or an AWS user accounts.

More info here :

For setting up user accounts follow these steps :

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers,
David
