Send data from Splunk DSP to SignalFx
You can use the SignalFx connector with a Write to SignalFx sink function to send data from the Splunk Data Stream Processor (DSP) to a SignalFx endpoint.
The SignalFx Connector supports the Public Realm and URL endpoint types. The Public Realm endpoint type is typically used with cloud-based SignalFx installations that are accessible via publically available realm names. An example of a SignalFx Public Realm is us1
. The URL endpoint type is typically used with non-public SignalFx endpoints. An example of a URL endpoint is mysignalfx.myhostname.com
.
IP addresses are not supported for the URL endpoint type.

enter the SignalFx public realm, for exampleus1
. - If Endpoint Type is set to
URL
enter the hostname, for examplemysignalfx.myhostname.com
