    Splunk Alerts

    Splunk is a software platform to search, analyze, and visualize machine-generated data gathered from websites, applications, sensors, and devices.
    Prisma Cloud continually scans your environment for vulnerabilities, Compliance, Runtime behavior, WAAS violations and more. You can now monitor your Prisma Cloud alerts in Splunk using a native integration.

    Send Alerts to Splunk

    Follow the instructions below to send alerts from your Prisma Cloud Console to Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud Platform.

    Set Up Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC)

    Splunk HEC lets you send data and application events to a Splunk deployment over the HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Set up Splunk HEC to view alert notifications from Prisma Cloud in Splunk and consolidate alert notifications from Prisma Cloud into Splunk. This integration enables your operations team to review and take action on the alerts.
    1. To set up HEC, use the instructions in Splunk documentation. The default
      source type
       is
      _json
      .
    2. Go to
      Settings > Data inputs > HTTP Event
      .
    3. Select
      Collector
       and ensure that HEC is on the list with the
      Enabled
       the status.

    Set up the Splunk Integration

    The Prisma Cloud Compute Enterprise Edition (SaaS) uses the same notification settings you set up in the platform for CSPM alerts. You configure the notifications in the platform under
    Settings > Integrations
    . You can import them as an alert profile to use them in Prisma Cloud Compute. You need to make any changes to the provider settings on the platform side.
    2. Import the platform notification configuration in Prisma Cloud Compute:
      1. Go to
        Compute > Manage > Alerts > Manage
         tab.
      2. Click on
        Add Profile
        .
      3. From the
        Provider
         drop down, select
        Prisma Cloud
        .
      4. In the
        Integrations
         field, select the configuration you set up when integrating Prisma Cloud with Splunk.
      5. Select the triggers you want sent to this channel.
      6. Click
        Save
        .

    Message Structure - JSON Schema

    The integration with Splunk generates a consistent event format.
    The JSON schema includes the following default fields:
    • app: Prisma Cloud Compute Alert Notification.
    • message: Contains the alert content in a JSON format as defined in the
      Custom JSON
       field. For example:
      • command: Shows the command which triggered the runtime alert.
      • namespaces: Lists the Kubernetes namespaces associated with the running image.
      • startup process: Shows the executed process activated when the container is initiated.
    • sender: Prisma Cloud Compute Alert Notification.
    • sentTs: Event sending timestamp as Unix time.
    • type: Shows the message type as alert.
    {
   app: Prisma Cloud Compute Alert Notification
   message: { [+] }
   sender: Prisma Cloud Compute Alert Notification
   sentTs: 1637843439
   type: alert
}
