Set up Splunk Cloud Connect
Follow these steps to set up Splunk Cloud Connect.
- Access the Splunk Cloud Connect app on Splunk Web.
- In the Set up Cloud Connected window, specify the region from the drop-down list based on where you want your cloud tenant to be located.
Note: The region is permanent for that deployment.
- Specify the requested name of your Cloud tenant. For example,
cmp-mytenant-01. - Specify the email address where a verification code can be sent for authentication.
Note: The email address must be associated with your SFDC account that is tied to your Splunk license.
- Select Submit.
- Check your email for the one-time 36-digit verification code.
Note: Requesting that the verification code is resent increments the tenant name by a single digit. When you request the verification code for the first time, the request includes the tenant name as follows:
cmp-<user entered string for tenant>-01. When you request the verification code again, the tenant name whose OTP you used to establish trust with Splunk Cloud Services (SCS) is incremented by a single digit. - Enter the one-time verification code that you received in your email.
- Select Submit to establish the connection.
Note: If there is an error during health checks, a temporary error log is added, which must be deleted from the disk. The format of the error is as follows:
ERROR utils.scs_utils: Failed to delete temporary key file /tmp/tmpx7k2m_9q.pem: <ERROR MSG>; manual cleanup may be needed.If the authentication process is successful, your Cloud connection is activated and your Cloud resources are provisioned. - Once the connection is established, use the Cloud Connect overview to identify Cloud-specific extensions from the available list of features that you can activate for use, such as Detection Studio, Splunk AI Toolkit, or Splunk IT Service Intelligence capabilities.
- Select Activate to turn on the specific feature that you want to use.
