Add required indexes to your Splunk server

Starting in Splunk SOAR version 6.2.0, Splunk SOAR is using universal forwarders instead of remote search to bring your Splunk SOAR data into Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud Platform and provide visibility of your Splunk SOAR data in your Splunk App for SOAR dashboards.

To configure searching, add the required Splunk SOAR indexes to your Splunk server:

  1. Go to the Configurations tab.
  2. In the Advanced Options section, from the Create indexes (REQUIRED for SOAR Remote Search and SOAR System Logs) dropdown menu, select the Create Indexes option.
  3. Configure universal forwarders following the instructions for your Splunk SOAR deployment, see Configure search in Splunk SOAR (Cloud) or Configure search in Splunk SOAR (On-premises).
  4. View any Splunk App for SOAR dashboard to make sure data is populating.

Note: If you want past data to appear in Splunk App for SOAR dashboards, you must reindex your Splunk SOAR data. By default, only new data appears.
