Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Overview

Details

With this release of Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services (aws) v6.0.0, we are merging all the capabilities of the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Kinesis Firehose into the Splunk Add-on for AWS. This means now with Splunk add-on for AWS v6.0.0, customers will be able to use a single Add-on across all AWS data sources for ingesting data into Splunk. If you are using the Splunk Add-on for Kinesis Firehose as well as the Add-on for AWS with your Splunk instance, then you must uninstall the Kinesis Firehose Add-on after upgrading the Add-on for AWS to version 6.0.0 to avoid any data duplicacy and discrepancy issues. If you are not using the Add-on for Kinesis Firehose but plan to use it in the future, then we encourage all customers to adopt the Splunk Add-on for AWS v 6.0.0 instead of the Add-on for Kinesis Firehose as the Add-on for Kinesis Firehose will be discontinued in the future.

Ingesting data from AWS to Splunk Cloud? Have you tried the new Splunk Data Manager yet? Data Manager makes AWS data ingestion simpler, more automated and centrally managed for you, while co-existing with AWS and/or Kinesis TAs. Read our blog post to learn more about Data Manager and it’s availability on your Splunk Cloud instance: https://splk.it/3e9F863
