About

Data Manager is suitable for Splunk Cloud Platform administrators who want to automatically configure data ingestion from a variety of sources using the HTTP Event Collector (HEC). Data Manager automates prerequisites, such as scripts to set up resources in the data source, has functional intelligence relevant to the respective data source, and does index-time transformations.

You can use Data Manager if your Splunk Cloud Platform deployment meets the following requirements:

  • Runs Splunk Cloud Platform versions 8.2.2104.1 and higher on the Victoria experience.
  • Is provisioned in a region that supports Data Manager. See Available regions and region differences in the Splunk Cloud Platform Service Description.
