# 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.

export const endpointName_0 = "Splunk"

This page explains how to send data from Splunk to Axiom.

## Prerequisites

* [Create an Axiom account](https://app.axiom.co/register).
* [Create a dataset in Axiom](/reference/datasets#create-dataset) where you send your data.
* [Create an API token in Axiom](/reference/tokens) with permissions to ingest data to the dataset you have created.

## Configure {endpointName_0} endpoint in Axiom

1. Click <Icon icon="gear" iconType="solid" /> **Settings > Endpoints**.
2. Click **New endpoint**.
3. Click **{endpointName_0}**.
4. Name the endpoint.
5. Select the dataset where you want to send data.
6. Copy the URL displayed for the newly created endpoint. This is the target URL where you send the data.

## Configure Splunk

In Splunk, specify the following environment variables:

* `token` is your Splunk API token. For information, see the [Splunk documentation](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-observability-cloud/administer/authentication-and-security/authentication-tokens/api-access-tokens).
* `url` or `host` is 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

```js  theme={null}
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 `port` and `index` values are required in your Python code.

```py  theme={null}
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

```js  theme={null}
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
	}
```
