Integrate Prisma Cloud with Splunk

Learn how to integrate Prisma™ Cloud with Splunk.

Splunk is a software platform to search, analyze, and visualize machine-generated data gathered from websites, applications, sensors, and devices.

Prisma™ Cloud integrates with Splunk and monitors your assets and sends alerts for resource misconfigurations, compliance violations, network security risks, and anomalous user activities to Splunk.

Set up Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) to view alert notifications from Prisma Cloud in Splunk.

Splunk HEC lets you send data and application events to a Splunk deployment over the HTTP and Secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocols. This helps consolidate alert notifications from Prisma Cloud in to Splunk so that your operations team can review and take action on the alerts.

If you have a firewall or cloud Network Security Group between the internet and Splunk, you need to ensure network reachability and Enable Access to the Prisma Cloud Console.

To set up HEC, use instructions in Splunk documentation.

The Splunk HEC URL is a Splunk endpoint for sending event notifications to your Splunk deployment. You can either use HTTP or HTTPS for this purpose. Since Prisma Cloud sends data about an alert or error in JSON format, make sure to include

/services/collector

endpoint as part of the Splunk HEC URL.
