All DSP releases prior to DSP 1.4.0 use Gravity, a Kubernetes orchestrator, which has been announced end-of-life. We have replaced Gravity with an alternative component in DSP 1.4.0. Therefore, we will no longer provide support for versions of DSP prior to DSP 1.4.0 after July 1, 2023. We advise all of our customers to upgrade to DSP 1.4.0 in order to continue to receive full product support from Splunk.
Get data from Ingest service
Use the Ingest Service source function to get data from the Ingest service. This is a source function that filters your data to only ingest data from the Ingest service.

- connection_id
- Syntax: string
- Description: The ID of your Ingest service connection. Must be set to
rest_api:all
. - Example: "rest_api:all"
Optional arguments
- initial_position
- Syntax: LATEST | TRIM_HORIZON
- Description: The position in the data stream where you want to start reading data. Defaults to LATEST.
- LATEST: Start reading data from the latest position on the data stream.

SPL2 example
When working in the SPL View, you can write the function using arguments in this exact order.
| from ingest_rest_api("rest_api:all", "TRIM_HORIZON") |... ;
Alternatively, you can use named arguments to declare arguments in any order. The following SPL2 example uses named arguments to specify the initial_position
argument before the connection_id
argument.
| from ingest_rest_api(initial_position: "TRIM_HORIZON", connection_id: "rest_api:all") |... ;
Limitations of the Ingest service
The maximum supported size for a record is 5MB. If any records exceed that size, the Ingest service returns an error.
