Introduction

Note:

Data Manager became Data Inputs.

We renamed Data Manager to Data Inputs to better reflect our unified approach to data ingestion. While the name changed, all your existing configurations remain the same.

In Splunk 10.4 and later, a navigation panel consolidates Data Inputs and related features into a single location. From there, you can switch between pages and manage all your data from one place.

Welcome to Data Inputs. It is designed to simplify and automate the process of bringing data into your Splunk Cloud Platform from various sources. Whether you're just starting out or an experienced Splunk admin, you will find guidance on how Data Inputs simplifies setup by automating prerequisites and managing data inputs. Additionally, you'll learn how Data Inputs shares usage info with Splunk to keep improving the product while making sure your setup stays safe and runs smoothly.
