Splunk - CData Cloud

Overview

CData Cloud offers access to Splunk across several standard services and protocols, in a cloud-hosted solution. Any application that can connect to a SQL Server database can connect to Splunk through CData Cloud.

CData Cloud allows you to standardize and configure connections to Splunk as though it were any other OData endpoint or standard SQL Server.

Key Features

  • Full SQL Support: Splunk appears as standard relational databases, allowing you to perform operations - Filter, Group, Join, etc. - using standard SQL, regardless of whether these operations are supported by the underlying API.
  • CRUD Support: Both read and write operations are supported, restricted only by security settings that you can configure in Cloud or downstream in the source itself.
  • Secure Access: The administrator can create users and define their access to specific databases and read-only operations or grant full read & write privileges.
  • Comprehensive Data Model & Dynamic Discovery: CData Cloud provides comprehensive access to all of the data exposed in the underlying data source, including full access to dynamic data and easily searchable metadata.

CData Cloud

Getting Started

This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Splunk in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Splunk

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Splunk and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Splunk through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

CData Cloud

Establishing a Connection

Connect to Splunk by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to Splunk APIs

You must specify the URL to a valid Splunk server. By default the Cloud makes requests on port 8089.

By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate TLS/SSL with the server.

Authenticating to Splunk

There are two ways to authenticate to Splunk data: logging in with Splunk credentials, or using a Splunk authentication token.

Splunk Credentials

To authenticate with Splunk credentials, set User and Password to your login credentials.

Splunk Token

When you access Splunk via an authentication token, you can access the Splunk platform using Representational State Transfer (REST) calls. On Splunk Enterprise, you can also use the CLI. Both of these methods enable you to access the instance and make requests without having to authenticate via credentials.

Note: Unless you are accessing a search head cluster (where you can use the same token to access all available head clusters), you must have a separate token for each instance being accessed.

To authenticate with a Splunk token:

  1. In the Splunk UI, navigate to Users and Authentication > Tokens to access your assigned authentication token. If you do not have one, request one from the administrator of the instance you want to access.
  2. Set the AuthScheme to AccessToken; and the AccessToken property to your Splunk token.

CData Cloud

SSL Configuration

Customizing the SSL Configuration

To enable TLS, set the following:

  • URL: Prefix the connection string with https://

With this configuration, the Cloud attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.

CData Cloud

Firewall and Proxy

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set the following:

  • ProxyServer: the hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through.
  • ProxyPort: the TCP port that the proxy server is running on.
  • ProxyAuthScheme: the authentication method the Cloud uses when authenticating to the proxy server.
  • ProxyUser: the username of a user account registered with the proxy server.
  • ProxyPassword: the password associated with the ProxyUser.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

  • To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
  • To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
  • To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
  • To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

CData Cloud

Data Model

The Cloud models Splunk reports, searches, datasets, and data models as tables in a relational database that you can read from/write to with SQL-92 queries.

Dynamic Schema Generation

You can work with all of the tables in your account: when you connect the Cloud retrieves the metadata from Splunk and dynamically reflects any changes in the table schemas.

You can call the CreateSchema stored procedure to persist a static schema across connections. The stored procedure saves the schema to a text file; the text file has a simple format that also makes schemas easy to customize.

Tables

See Tables for more details on updating and querying datasets, data models, and searches.

Views

The Cloud also surfaces data through Views representing the following Splunk objects:

  • Reports: See LookUpReport for an example of a view representing a saved report in Splunk.
  • Data-model datasets: See AlertsInInternalServer for an example of a view representing a dataset. See Datasets to retrieve a list of dataset views.
  • Table-type datasets: See UploadedModel for an example of a view representing a table dataset in Splunk.

CData Cloud

Tables

The Cloud models the data in Splunk as a list of tables in a relational database that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

CData Cloud

Views

Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views are read-only.

Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table.

CData Cloud - Splunk Views

Name Description
AlertsInInternalServer A dataset object in the example InternalServer data model.
LookUpReport An example lookup report representing a view based on a saved report in Splunk.
UploadedModel An example of a table object inside a data model.

CData Cloud

AlertsInInternalServer

A dataset object in the example InternalServer data model.

Select

This is an example of a dataset view. These views are generated from dataset objects inside a data model. The Cloud will use the Splunk APIs to process the following query components; the Cloud processes other parts of the query client-side in memory.

All columns support server-side processing for the following operators and functions:

  • Operators: =, <, >, >=, <=, IN, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, NOT
  • Functions: AVG, SUM, MIN, MAX, COUNT, STDEV, STDEVP, VAR, VARP

LIMIT, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and HAVING are also processed server-side. An exception is the case when in the selected columns, there are fields that are not in the GROUP BY, and GROUP BY, criteria, and limiting are handled client-side.

In the case when an unsupported criteria or function is used, all processing will be completed client-side (except selecting specified fields). This is also the case when a SELECT statement has a column that is not in the GroupBy clause.

For example, the Cloud uses the Splunk APIs to process the following queries.

SELECT Component, Timeendpos as Timeend FROM [AlertsInInternalServer] WHERE Component = 'Saved' OR EventType != '' AND Priority IS NOT NULL AND Linecount NOT IN ('1', '2') ORDER BY Priority DESC LIMIT 5 

SELECT AVG(Suppressed), Priority FROM [AlertsInInternalServer] GROUP BY Priority HAVING AVG(Suppressed) > 0

LookUpReport

An example lookup report representing a view based on a saved report in Splunk.

Select

This is an example of a report view. These views are generated from saved reports in Splunk.

The Cloud will use the Splunk APIs to process the following query components; the Cloud processes other parts of the query client-side in memory.

Saved Search

Runs a saved search, or report, and returns the search results of a saved search. If the search contains replacement placeholder terms, such as $replace_me$, the search processor replaces the placeholders with the strings you specify.

For example:

  • SELECT * FROM mysearch WHERE replace_me = 'value'

Will generate the following search statement:

  • | savedsearch mysearch replace_me="value"

All replacement placeholder terms will be dynamic and saved as Pseudo-Columns.

All columns support server-side processing for the following operators and functions:

  • Operators: =, <, >, >=, <=, IN, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, NOT, LIKE
  • Functions: AVG, SUM, MIN, MAX, COUNT, STDEV, STDEVP, VAR, VARP

LIMIT, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and HAVING are also processed server-side. An exception is the case when in the selected columns, there are fields that are not in the GROUP BY, and GROUP BY, criteria, and limiting are handled client-side.

In the case when an unsupported criteria or function is used, all processing will be completed client-side (except selecting specified fields). This is also the case when a SELECT statement has a column that is not in the GROUP BY clause.

For example, the Cloud processes the following queries server-side:

SELECT Country, Subregion as Sub FROM LookUpReport WHERE Iso2 != '123' OR continent = 'Europe' AND iso3 NOT IN ('example_1', 'example_2') ORDER BY Country DESC LIMIT 5 

SELECT AVG(Iso2), Subregion FROM LookUpReport GROUP BY Subregion HAVING AVG(Iso2) > 0

UploadedModel

An example of a table object inside a data model.

Select

This is an example of a view generated from a table object inside a data model. The Cloud will use the Splunk APIs to process the following query components; the Cloud processes other parts of the query client-side in memory.

All columns support server-side processing for the following operators and functions.

  • Operators: =, <, >, >=, <=, IN, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, NOT
  • Functions: AVG, SUM, MIN, MAX, COUNT, STDEV, STDEVP, VAR, VARP

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

A comma delimited list of object types to exclude during metadata retrieval. Supported object types: Report, Dataset, Indexes.

CData Cloud

IncludeInternalFields

Whether or not the CData ADO.NET Provider for Splunk should push the internal fields. These fields include: user, eventtype, etc.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Whether or not the CData Cloud should push the internal fields. These fields include: user, eventtype, etc.

CData Cloud

MaxRows

Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The default value for this property, -1, means that no row limit is enforced unless the query explicitly includes a LIMIT clause. (When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting.)

Setting MaxRows to a whole number greater than 0 ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.

CData Cloud

MaxThreads

Specifies the number of concurrent requests. Only used when UseJobs is true.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"5"

Remarks

This property allows you to issue multiple requests simultaneously, thereby improving performance. Default value is 5 threads. Setting a higher value can result in OutOfMemory issues.

CData Cloud

Pagesize

Specifies the maximum number of records per page the provider returns when requesting data from Splunk.

Data Type

int

Default Value

10000

Remarks

When processing a query, instead of requesting all of the queried data at once from Splunk, the Cloud can request the queried data in pieces called pages.

This connection property determines the maximum number of results that the Cloud requests per page.

Note: Setting large page sizes may improve overall query execution time, but doing so causes the Cloud to use more memory when executing queries and risks triggering a timeout.

CData Cloud

PseudoColumns

Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Cloud exposes as table columns.

To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format:

Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3

To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use:

*=*

CData Cloud

RowScanDepth

Set this property to control the number of rows scanned when TypeDetectionScheme is set to RowScan.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"50"

Remarks

Determines the number of rows used to determine the column data types.

Setting a high value may decrease performance. Setting a low value may prevent the data type from being determined properly, especially when there is null data.

CData Cloud

Timeout

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.

Data Type

int

Default Value

60

Remarks

The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.

Timeout is set to 60 seconds by default. To disable timeouts, set this property to 0.

Disabling the timeout allows operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server.

Note: Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.

CData Cloud

TypeDetectionScheme

Determines how to determine the data type of columns.

Possible Values

None, RowScan

Data Type

string

Default Value

"RowScan"

Remarks

NoneSetting TypeDetectionScheme to None will return all columns as the string type.
RowScanSetting TypeDetectionScheme to RowScan will scan rows to heuristically determine the data type. The RowScanDepth determines the number of rows to be scanned.

CData Cloud

UseJobs

Specifies whether to use the jobs endpoint instead of the export endpoint. If set to true, the maximum number of returned rows is configured Splunk's limit.conf file.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Whether to use the jobs endpoint instead of the export endpoint. While Jobs generally provide higher performance, the initial response time may be longer. If a Timeout error occurs, set the Timeout connection property to a higher value.

Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.

5. NO WARRANTY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.

6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. GENERAL

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.

Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
