Onboard data with Guided Onboarding and Auto-schema
Plan data onboarding or schematize custom data.
Plan how to bring data into Splunk software, or use Auto-schema to create a schema for representative custom data.
Use assistant guidance
The assistant gathers details through chat and structured prompts, then recommends onboarding strategies, generates task lists, or creates schema output based on the scenario you start.
Select a scenario
On the Onboard data page, select the tile that matches your task:
| Scenario | Use this scenario to | Information to provide | Main output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan data onboarding | Create an onboarding plan for a data source. | Data source, platform, ingestion preference, volume, latency, and deployment model. | A task list, selected ingestion strategy, and topology information when available. |
| Schematize custom data | Generate CIM mappings and deployment files for a custom data source. | Destination, source type or source name, and representative sample events. | An add-on package, SPL2 output, or both output types depending on the selected destination. |
Review scenario status
Use status values on the Scenarios page to find work that is active or ready for review.
- Draft
- The scenario is created, but still needs required information before recommendations or output can be generated.
- In progress
- The workflow has started and still has work to complete.
- Completed
- The scenario is complete, or the generated output is ready for follow-up work outside Guided Onboarding.
