Create a pass-through pipeline to send events

To start sending all your event data to a Splunk index in the configured Splunk Enterprise instance, create a pipeline using the Splunk Firehose to Splunk Index template:


  1. From the Build Pipeline page, click the Splunk Firehose to Splunk Index template.
  2. Click Validate to validate your pipeline. This template sends your data pipeline events or metrics to the main index in the default, pre-configured Splunk Enterprise instance associated with the Data Stream Processor.
  3. Click Preview to start a preview session on your pipeline, allowing sample data to run through your data pipeline.
  4. Give your pipeline a name and a description by clicking the More options menu, and then select Update Pipeline Metadata.
  5. After naming your pipeline, click Update.
  6. Click Save to save your pipeline.
  7. Click Activate to activate your pipeline.
  8. Click the Data Management tab to return to the Pipelines Management page.
