About the Splunk App for AWS

The Splunk App for AWS gives you critical operational and security insight into your Amazon Web Services account.

The app includes:

• A pre-built knowledge base of dashboards, reports, and alerts that deliver real-time visibility into your environment.
• Easy-to-configure data inputs for your AWS Config, Config Rules, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Billing, S3, VPC Flow Log, Inspector, and Metadata inputs.
• A logical topology dashboard that displays your entire AWS infrastructure to help you optimize resources and detect problems.
• CIM-compliant fields and tags so that you can integrate your AWS data with your other infrastructure and security data sources.
• Insights dashboards that display detected problems and anomalies in your AWS environment and provide best practice recommendations to help you optimize AWS resources, including EC2, EIP, ELB, and EBS.
