Configure AWS services
Before configuring your Splunk platform deployment to work with your AWS data, make sure that your AWS deployment is properly configured to send data.
Prerequisites
- You must have administrator access to your AWS account. If you do not have necessary permissions, work with an AWS administrator to complete the tasks described in this manual.
If your account is in the AWS China region, the add-on only supports the services that AWS supports in that region. For an up-to-date list of what products and services are supported in this region, see AWS China Products or AWS product services.
If your account is in the AWS GovCloud region, the add-on only supports the services that AWS supports in that region. For an up-to-date list of what services and endpoints are supported in this region, see the AWS GovCloud User Guide
Configure VPC Flow Logs
VPC Flow Logs require no additional configuration for the Splunk Add-on for AWS, other than enabling them for your VPCs. However, you do need to grant permissions to the AWS account(s) that the add-on uses to connect to the VPC Flow Log groups and streams.
