Splunk® Data Stream Processor

Install and administer the Data Stream Processor

On April 3, 2023, Splunk Data Stream Processor reached its end of sale, and will reach its end of life on February 28, 2025. If you are an existing DSP customer, please reach out to your account team for more information.

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 started with the Data Stream Processor CLI

The Splunk Data Stream Processor includes its own command-line tool starting in DSP 1.4.0, which lets you administer and configure your DSP deployment. This collection of commands replaces the scripts that previous versions of DSP included in the installer package. See Available commands for all commands.

You must run all DSP CLI commands from the working directory of a controller node. To access the DSP CLI, navigate to the bin subdirectory in the DSP working directory. From there, you can run any DSP CLI commands using the following syntax: dsp <command> [subcommand] [flag]. To get more information about a specific command, its usage, flags, and any applicable subcommands, run the command with the --help flag.

Available commands

Command Description
admin Perform administrative operations for the DSP cluster, such as managing credentials, pipelines, and connections.
backup Generate a backup TAR file of the DSP deployment.
bootstrap Specify whether you want to skip creating certain resources when installing DSP.
category View, start, stop, or restart resources in one or more specific categories. A category is a system service like auth, ingest, or pipelines.
completion Generate the autocompletion script for bash, fish, PowerShell, or zsh shells. See each subcommand's help for details on how to use the generated script.
config View or edit any DSP configurations that you added.
configure-ui Configure DSP to enable the UI on the provided DSP host. If you do not set the dsp-host parameter, the command determines the DSP host based on this precedence order:
