About the Splunk Phantom App for Splunk

Splunk Phantom and Splunk SOAR can use the Splunk platform as a source of data by ingesting events. The Splunk Phantom App for Splunk is required to configure Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud as a data source for getting data into Splunk Phantom or Splunk SOAR.

The following image shows an example of how a standalone Splunk Phantom instance is integrated with a Splunk platform environment.

This diagram shows how the Splunk Phantom App for Splunk translates CIM data from the Splunk platform to CEF data for Splunk Phantom. Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise are shown on the left. Arrows from both Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise point to a box labeled Splunk Alerts, which contains Saved Search, Data Model, and Splunk ES Notable. The Splunk Phantom App for Splunk perform mapping to CEF fields for Saved Search and Data Model, and CIM to CEF translation for Splunk ES Notables. Finally, CEF events are sent from the Splunk platform to Splunk Phantom or Splunk SOAR.

The Splunk Phantom App for Splunk is installed as an app on the Splunk platform and forwards events to Splunk Phantom or Splunk SOAR. The Splunk platform environment consists of raw events or Common Information Model (CIM) data, while Splunk Phantom and Splunk SOAR use the Common Event Format (CEF). The Splunk Phantom App for Splunk acts as a translation service between the Splunk platform and Splunk Phantom or Splunk SOAR by performing the following tasks:

  • Mapping fields from Splunk platform alerts, such as saved searches and data models, to CEF fields.
  • Translating CIM fields from Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) notable events to CEF fields.
  • Forwarding events in CEF format to Splunk Phantom or Splunk SOAR, which are stored as artifacts.
