Sending data from DSP into other destinations

You can send data from the Splunk Data Stream Processor (DSP) into one of several external data destinations using connector-based functions. Supported data destinations are:

• Amazon Kinesis
• Amazon S3
• SignalFx
• Microsoft Azure Event Hubs
• Apache or Confluent Kafka

Example Workflow: Send data from Splunk Firehose to a data destination

If you are receiving streaming data from Splunk Firehose, follow these steps to send data to a supported data destination.

1. Create a connection to a data destination:
   1. Send data from Splunk DSP to Amazon Kinesis.
   2. Send data from Splunk DSP to Amazon S3.
   3. Send data from Splunk DSP to SignalFx.
   4. Send data from Splunk DSP to Azure Event Hubs Using SAS Key (Beta).
   5. Send data from Splunk DSP to Kafka using SSL.
   6. Send data from Splunk DSP to Kafka without authentication.
2. From the Build Pipeline tab, select the Read from Splunk Firehose data source. The Splunk Firehose source function reads streaming data from the DSP Ingest, Collect, HEC, Syslog, and Forwarders services.
3. Click + to add additional desired data transformations on your data pipeline.
4. End your pipeline with the sink function that matches the destination connector you created in step 1.
5. Click Start Preview to verify that your pipeline is sending data.
6. Save and activate your pipeline.
