Mars Alert Forwarding adds a "Send to Mars" custom alert action that forwards a triggered saved search's results directly to the Mars Security platform in a single outbound delivery.
The problem it solves: security teams using Mars for AI-driven threat hunting and detection engineering need their Splunk detections to flow into Mars without manual exporting, copy-pasting results, or building and maintaining custom webhook scripts. This add-on bridges that gap with a simple, native alert action.
How it works:
- Add "Send to Mars" to any saved search under Trigger Actions. When the alert fires, the add-on sends the matching results, the SPL behind the search, the configured severity, and key search metadata to your Mars webhook.
- Splunk severity (1–5) is mapped to Mars severity automatically, with an optional per-action override.
Setup is a one-time admin task: open the add-on's setup page and enter your Mars webhook URL and token (stored encrypted in Splunk), then enable the action on any saved search.
Note: this add-on forwards data to the Mars platform and requires a Mars account.
