Configure the Load Balancer

If your Splunk platform installation uses load balancing to distribute data across multiple Splunk instances, configure the Splunk ODBC Driver accordingly.

When you set up or change configurations in the Splunk Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Driver, enter the address of the load balancer instead of the address of a Splunk instance in one of the following places:

• The Server URL field of the Create a Data Source screen (during driver install).
• The Splunk ODBC Connection Options window (when updating the configuration information).

For more information about changing the Splunk ODBC Driver's server URL, see the Enter or change topic of this manual.
