Welcome to Splunk Cloud Platform

This document contains information about this version of Splunk Cloud Platform.

Splunk Cloud Platform delivers many of the features of Splunk Enterprise, plus some features that are available only to Splunk Cloud Platform subscribers. The features in your Splunk Cloud Platform environment might vary from those in Splunk Enterprise because of your topology, deployment, and configuration settings.

Splunk Cloud Platform uses a firewall to prevent unauthorized user access. The firewall prevents SSH access to the Splunk Cloud Platform deployment, which means that you cannot edit configuration files or use the command line interface (CLI) to configure your Splunk Cloud Platform deployment (except on forwarder hosts, which run in your corporate network). To configure settings, use Splunk Web or Admin Config Service. If you need to modify your configuration in a way that is not self-serviceable, submit a case on the Support Portal.
