Splunk for Security: Expansion - Stream Data-Flows

In this instalment of the Splunk for Security Expansion series, we delve into the data flow processes within Splunk Stream. The flow mirrors conventional data handling tools: data is captured by forwarders, which are often installed on HEC servers, and then sent to indexes. Once indexed, the data becomes searchable within the Splunk Enterprise environment. The video highlights how the search head and forwarders communicate, with the Splunk app stream on the search head providing configurations that detail what data is collected.

Additionally, the video explores the different types of streams, including metadata, packet, and ephemeral streams, and demonstrates how these are managed through the Splunk Stream app's dashboard. This interface allows users to configure streams, view inputs, and adjust settings such as indexes and protocols. For those seeking further information or support, the video invites viewers to contact via email for more details.
