Splunk Integration User Guide

This document describes the integration of ITM On-Prem with Splunk software.

For new Splunk version 2.3.3, HTTPS and SSL verification is mandatory and require a CA certificate [chain].
After upgrading the TA, you must provide the path to CA certificate chain file , relative to $SPLUNK_HOME. Default CA certificates will be used if no file name is provided. (See Configuring ObserveIT TA for Splunk.)

 

Currently documentation is being rebranded from ObserveIT to ITM On-Prem. Anything referred to as ITM On-Prem means ObserveIT and anything referred to as ObserveIT is ITM On-Prem.
