Step 1: Install and configure the Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Add-on

The Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Add-on lets you collect metrics and event data from Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring. The add-on includes an SPL command called sim that runs on the search head cluster and enables SPL-generating search commands to fetch data from Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring and bring it into ITSI.

For configuration instructions, see Configure the Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Add-on.

Step 2: Install the Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring

The Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring provides the necessary entity discovery searches, entity types, and services corresponding to each of the default Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring integration types. After you configure your services, use the visualizations provided with the content pack to monitor your AWS, Azure, and GCP instances in Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring. For installation instructions, see Install and configure the Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring in the Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring documentation.

For more information about how the content pack works, see About the Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring in the Content Pack for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring documentation.
