Splunk® Supported Add-ons

Splunk Add-ons

Add-ons and FIPS mode

FIPS mode is not currently supported by all Splunk-supported add-ons. Some add-ons with modular inputs use an encryption algorithm to store credentials. This encryption algorithm is not supported when FIPS is enabled on the Splunk platform. If you are required to use FIPS in your environment, the workaround for using this type of add-on is to install a heavy forwarder that is not using FIPS to perform data collection and then send that data to an indexer with FIPS enabled.


For more information about using FIPS with the Splunk platform, see Secure Splunk Enterprise with FIPS in the Securing Splunk Enterprise manual.
