Splunk® App for Microsoft Exchange (EOL)

Deploy and Use the Splunk Add-ons for Microsoft Exchange

On October 22 2021, the Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange will reach its end of life. After this date, Splunk will no longer maintain or develop this product. The functionality in this app is migrating to a content pack in Data Integrations. Learn about the Content Pack for Microsoft Exchange.
This documentation does not apply to the most recent version of Splunk® App for Microsoft Exchange (EOL). For documentation on the most recent version, go to the latest release.

Configure TA-Exchange-Mailbox

The Splunk Add-ons for Microsoft Exchange must be configured before you can deploy them to Exchange Server hosts. This is because you must specifically enable support for the version of Exchange Server that you run.

Each add-on within the Splunk Add-ons for Microsoft Exchange package includes an inputs.conf file that has all of the data inputs that are necessary to get Exchange Server data. These inputs are disabled by default.

Download and unpack the TA-Exchange-Mailbox add-on

  1. Download the Splunk Add-ons for Microsoft Exchange package from Splunkbase.
  2. Unpack the add-on bundle to an accessible location.

Create and edit inputs.conf

  1. Open a PowerShell window, command prompt, or Explorer window.
  2. Create a local directory within the TA-Exchange-Mailbox add-on.
  3. Copy inputs.conf from the TA-Exchange-Mailbox\default directory to the TA-Exchange-Mailbox\local directory.
  4. Use a text editor such as Notepad to open the TA-Exchange-Mailbox\local\inputs.conf file for editing.
  5. Modify the inputs.conf file so that the common data inputs and the inputs that are for the version of Exchange Server that you run are enabled. Do this by changing disabled = true to disabled = false for all input stanzas that are associated with your version of Exchange Server. See the example inputs.conf later in this topic.
  6. After you update the inputs.conf file, save it and close it.

Distribute the add-ons

If you do not have a deployment server to distribute apps and add-ons, set one up. A deployment server greatly reduces the overhead in distributing apps and add-ons to hosts. You can make one change on the deployment server and push that change to all universal forwarders in your Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange deployment. The Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange manual uses deployment server extensively in its setup instructions.

If you run more than one version of Exchange Server in your environment, set up a deployment server for each version of Exchange. This is because the Splunk Add-ons for Microsoft Exchange include data inputs for all versions of Exchange Server.

  1. Copy the TA-Exchange-Mailbox add-on to the %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\deployment-apps directory on the deployment server.
  2. Create a server class for all hosts that run Exchange Server and hold the Mailbox Store role.
  3. Add all Exchange Server hosts that hold the Mailbox Server role to this server class.
  4. Push the add-on to all hosts in this server class.

Example inputs.conf

The following inputs.conf listing is an example of how you should configure the TA-Exchange-Mailbox add-on for installation on an Exchange Server 2010 host that holds the Mailbox Server role. In this example, Exchange Server 2010 block has had its input stanzas changed from disabled = true to disabled = false. All other data input blocks have not been changed.

Remember to save the inputs.conf file after editing it, as changes do not take effect until the file has been saved and the add-on has been pushed to Exchange Server hosts.
