Send data from Splunk to Axiom
Integrate Axiom in your existing Splunk app with minimal effort and without breaking any of your existing Splunk stack.
This page explains how to send data from Splunk to Axiom.
Prerequisites
- Create an Axiom account.
- Create a dataset in Axiom where you send your data.
- Create an API token in Axiom with permissions to update the dataset you have created.
Configure endpoint in Axiom
- Click
Settings > Endpoints. - Click New endpoint.
- Click .
- Name the endpoint.
- Select the dataset where you want to send data.
- Copy the URL displayed for the newly created endpoint. This is the target URL where sends data.
Configure Splunk
In Splunk, specify the following environment variables:
tokenis your Splunk API token. For information, see the Splunk documentation.urlorhostis the target URL for the endpoint you have generated in Axiom by following the procedure above. For example,https://opbizplsf8klnw.ingress.axiom.co.
Examples
Send logs from Splunk using JavaScript
var SplunkLogger = require('splunk-logging').Logger;
var config = {
token: '$SPLUNK_TOKEN',
url: '$AXIOM_ENDPOINT_URL',
};
var Logger = new SplunkLogger({
token: config.token,
url: config.url,
host: '$AXIOM_ENDPOINT_URL',
});
var payload = {
// Message can be anything; doesn’t have to be an object
message: {
temperature: '70F',
chickenCount: 500,
},
};
console.log('Sending payload', payload);
Logger.send(payload, function (err, resp, body) {
// If successful, body will be { text: 'Success', code: 0 }
console.log('Response from Splunk', body);
});
Send logs from Splunk using Python
- Your Splunk deployment
portandindexvalues are required in your Python code.
import logging
from splunk_handler import SplunkHandler
splunk = SplunkHandler(
host="$AXIOM_SPLUNK_ENDPOINT_URL",
port='8088',
token='',
index='main'
)
logging.getLogger('').addHandler(splunk)
logging.warning('Axiom endpoints!')
Send logs from Splunk using Golang
package main
import "github.com/docker/docker/daemon/logger/splunk"
func main() {
// Create new Splunk client
splunk := splunk.NewClient(
nil,
"https://{$AXIOM_SPLUNK_ENDPOINT}:8088/services/collector",
"{your-token}",
"{your-source}",
"{your-sourcetype}",
"{your-index}"
)
err := splunk.Log(
interface{"msg": "axiom endpoints", "msg2": "endpoints"}
)
if err != nil {
return err
}
err = splunk.LogWithTime(
time.Now(),
interface{"msg": "axiom endpoints", "msg2": "endpoints"}
)
if err != nil {
return err
}
