Configure and deploy indexes
Splunk App for PCI Compliance implements custom indexes for event storage. The indexes are defined across the apps provided with Splunk App for PCI Compliance.
- In a single instance deployment, the installation of Enterprise Security creates the indexes in the default path for data storage.
- In a Splunk Cloud deployment, customers work with Splunk Support to set up, manage, and maintain their cloud index parameters. See Manage Splunk Cloud indexes in the Splunk Cloud User Manual.
- In a distributed deployment, create the indexes on all Splunk platform indexers or search peers.
Index configuration
The indexes defined in Splunk App for PCI Compliance do not provide configuration settings to address:
- Multiple storage paths
- Accelerated data models
- Data retention
- Bucket sizing
- Use of volume parameters.
For detailed examples of configuring indexes, see indexes.conf.example in the Splunk Enterprise Admin Manual.
