Onboarding for Azure data in Data Manager

Data Manager helps you set up hundreds of Azure accounts for data ingestion into Splunk Cloud within a matter of 25 to 30 minutes.

Logging in and getting started with Data Manager

Complete the following steps to get started:

  1. Log into Splunk Cloud using Splunk-provided credentials.
  2. Save the email that contains the credentials. It contains a Forgot Password link, in case you need to reset your password.
  3. Change your password at the prompt.
  4. Sign the terms and conditions.
  5. Start onboarding or take the product tour.

Data Manager walks you through adding existing data sources so that you can monitor and investigate any alerts that impact the security state of your environment. It also helps you to see which services you are ingesting, but not yet using, so that you can expand your security coverage.

If you are using Splunk Security Analytics for AWS, after the data is in, you can see Work With Your Data and Use Case topics for details about available dashboards regarding data breach, misconfiguration, insufficient identity, insider threats, user and authentication activity, and risk based alerting.
