Hardware and software requirements for the Splunk Add-on for Kubernetes

Prerequisites

The Splunk Add-on for Kubernetes uses data provided through Splunk Connect for Kubernetes. The Splunk Add-on for Kubernetes provides you with a Splunk Web interface and some saved searches, dashboards, and dashboard monitoring that help you manage the data from your Kubernetes configuration.

When you configure Splunk Connect for Kubernetes, you meet all of the requirements to set up the Add-on. For more information about Splunk Connect for Kubernetes see https://github.com/splunk/splunk-connect-for-kubernetes.
