Harden your configuration

Consider the following opportunities to secure your configuration:

  • Use a configuration management tool, such as subversion, to provide version control for Splunk configurations.
  • Integrate Splunk configuration changes into your existing change management framework.
  • Configure Splunk Enterprise to monitor its own configuration files and alert on changes.
  • Use version control. Git can be a useful example of version control.
  • Don't publish your configuration as a public responsibility.
