Indexers in AWS VPC

If you have placed your indexers on the AWS Virtual Private Cloud, use an elastic load balancer to send data to your indexers. Firehose-to-VPC.png

Indexers in Splunk Enterprise

If you have not placed your indexers in an AWS Virtual Private Cloud, but the indexers are accessible from AWS Firehose via public IPs, install a CA-signed SSL certificate on each indexer, then send data directly to your indexers.

Prepare your indexers before you proceed:

  1. Install a CA-signed SSL certificate on each indexer.
  2. Create a DNS name that resolves to the set of indexers that you plan to use to collect data from Amazon Kinesis Firehose. You will need this DNS name in a later step.

For more information about SSL, see the Additional resources topic at the end of this manual.
