Splunk Version Support

The driver leverages the Splunk REST API to enable you to access data models in Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud as relational databases, enabling bidirectional access to reports, datasets, and table datasets. It supports Splunk Enterprise v9.1.2 and Splunk Cloud v9.1.2038.

Note: Splunk does not enable access to their API for users with free trial accounts. Connecting using the driver requires a paid Splunk account.
