This page explains how to install a Splunk server for uberAgent.

Prerequisites

Download Splunk
Please see the KB article supported Splunk versions

Setup

Run through Splunk’s setup on the designated Splunk server (in this simple tutorial we assume that you only have a single, Windows-based Splunk server). Choose Local system user when asked for a Splunk user.

Firewall

Once Splunk is installed: if you have a firewall enabled, make sure that communication is allowed for splunkd.exe and splunkweb.exe (both normally located in C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin). For Windows Firewall the recommended configuration looks like this:

Splunk-server-firewall-rules

Log On

Log on to the Splunk console by navigating to http://servername:8000 in your browser.

License

If you plan to use Splunk Enterprise and already have a license, install it through Settings > Licensing. If you do not have a license yet: Splunk runs in Enterprise mode with an allowed daily data volume of 500 MB for 60 days. Then it switches to the free version.

Sending to Splunk’s HTTP Event Collector

If you plan to have the endpoint agent send the collected data to Splunk’s HTTP Event Collector follow the steps in this article.
