Configure Infoblox to send data to the Splunk Add-on for Infoblox

To enable the Splunk Add-on for Infoblox to collect data from Infoblox NIOS, use the Grid Manager web interface to configure your NIOS appliances and management stations to produce syslog output and push it to the data collection node of your Splunk platform installation. You can configure Infoblox to send data to Splunk over TCP or UDP or you can export the syslog data into a dump file and configure the add-on to monitor the dump file. Syslog mode is the best practice to collect logs data from your Infoblox deployment.

For instructions on how to configure syslog or how to download the syslog file to a directory, see the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide

Next, configure your data collection node to receive data from Infoblox NIOS as described in Configure inputs for the Splunk Add-on for Infoblox.
