Create an Amazon S3 dataset for data routing and federated search

Set up a Data Routing and Federated Search dataset to send data from Edge Processor or Ingest Processor to Amazon S3 and optionally search that data.

If you want to send data from a Splunk Cloud Platform deployment to an Amazon S3 dataset using Edge Processor or Ingest Processor, you use a Data Routing and Federated Search dataset. Once you set up the data routing details for this dataset, you can optionally enable federated search for it, which means that you can use the same dataset to write data to and read data from Amazon S3.

For details about setting up Data Routing and Federated Search datasets that can be used both as Edge Processor pipeline destinations and as data sources for federated searches, see Create an Amazon S3 dataset for Edge Processor pipelines in Use Edge Processors for Splunk Cloud Platform.

For details about setting up Data Routing and Federated Search datasets that can be used both as Ingest Processor pipeline destinations and as data sources for federated searches, see Create an Amazon S3 dataset for Ingest Processor pipelines in Use Ingest Processors.
