h2. Splunk Component |
...
*Available as of Camel 2.13 |
...
* The Splunk component provides access to [Splunk|http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest] using the Splunk provided [client|https://github.com/splunk/splunk-sdk-java] api, and it enables you to publish and search for events in Splunk. |
...
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component: |
...
| Code Block |
|---|
{code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-splunk</artifactId> <version>${camel-version}</version> </dependency> |

Producer Endpoints:
Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|
stream | Streams data to a named index or the default if not specified. |
submit | submit mode. Uses Splunk rest api to publish events to a named index or the default if not specified. |
tcp | tcp mode. Streams data to a tcp port, and requires a open receiver port in Splunk. |
When publishing events the message body should contain a SplunkEvent.
Example
| Code Block |
|---|
{code} h3. Producer Endpoints: {div:class=confluenceTableSmall} || Endpoint || Description | stream | Streams data to a named index or the default if not specified. When using stream mode be aware of that Splunk has some internal buffer (about 1MB or so) before events gets to the index. If you need realtime, better use submit or tcp mode. | | submit | submit mode. Uses Splunk rest api to publish events to a named index or the default if not specified. | | tcp | tcp mode. Streams data to a tcp port, and requires a open receiver port in Splunk.| {div} When publishing events the message body should contain a SplunkEvent. *Example* {code} from("direct:start").convertBodyTo(SplunkEvent.class) .to("splunk://submit?username=user&password=123&index=myindex&sourceType=someSourceType&source=mySource")... {code} In this example a converter is required to convert to a SplunkEvent class. h3. |

Consumer Endpoints: |

Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|
normal | Performs normal search and requires a search query in the search option. |
savedsearch | Performs search based on a search query saved in splunk and requires the name of the query in the savedSearch option. |

Message body
Splunk operates on data in key/value pairs. The SplunkEvent class is a placeholder for such data, and should be in the message body
for the producer. Likewise it will be returned in the body per search result for the consumer.
Use Cases
Search Twitter for tweets with music and publish events to Splunk

Splunk comes with a variety of options for leveraging machine generated data with prebuilt apps for analyzing and displaying this.
For example the jmx app. could be used to publish jmx attributes, eg. route and jvm metrics to Splunk, and displaying this on a dashboard.
