Splunk Cloud Platform

REST API Reference Manual

This documentation does not apply to the most recent version of Splunk Cloud Platform. For documentation on the most recent version, go to the latest release.

Federated search endpoint descriptions

Use the Federated Search REST API endpoints to create, update, and delete definitions for federated providers and federated indexes.

See About federated search for more information.

Usage details

Review ACL information for an endpoint

To check Access Control List (ACL) properties for an endpoint, append /acl to the path. For more information see Access Control List in the REST API User Manual.

Authentication and Authorization

Username and password authentication are required for access to endpoints and REST operations.

Splunk users must have role and/or capability-based authorization to use REST endpoints, and must have the admin_all_objects and edit_indexes capabilities to use the federated search endpoints detailed in this topic.

Users with an administrative role, such as admin, can access authorization information in Splunk Web. To view the roles assigned to a user, select Settings > Access controls > Users. To determine the capabilities assigned to a role, select Settings > Access controls > Roles.

App and user context

Typically, knowledge objects, such as saved searches or event types, have an app/user context that is the namespace. For more information about specifying a namespace, see Namespace in the REST API User Manual.

Splunk Cloud Platform URL for REST API access

Splunk Cloud Platform has a different host and management port syntax than Splunk Enterprise. Paid subscribers to the Splunk Cloud Platform service use the following URL to access REST API resources:

https://<deployment-name>.splunkcloud.com:8089

See Access requirements and limitations for the Splunk Cloud Platform REST API in the the REST API Tutorials manual for more information.


data/federated/provider

https://<host>:<mPort>/services/data/federated/provider

Use this endpoint to get a list of federated providers and post new federated provider definitions. See Define a federated provider.

Authentication and authorization
Use of the GET and POST operations for this endpoint are restricted to roles that have the admin_all_objects and indexes_edit capabilities.

GET

Returns a list of federated providers.

Request parameters
None specific to this method. This method can use pagination and filtering parameters.

Returned values

Name Description
name Specifies the name of the federated provider.
appContext Specifies the Splunk application context for the federated searches that will be run with this federated provider definition. The application context ensures that federated searches using this federated provider are limited to the knowledge objects that are associated with the named application.

If useFSHKnowledgeObjects = true, appContext specifies an app that is installed on the federated search head of your local Splunk platform deployment. If useFSHKnowledgeObjects = false, appContext specifies an app that is installed on the remote search head of the federated provider.
hostPort Specifies the protocols required to connect to a federated provider. Usually follows this format <Host_Name>:<Service_Port_Number>. In some cases, an IP address is used instead of a host name.
serviceAccount Specifies the user name for a service account that has been set up on the federated provider for the purpose of facilitating secure federated searches.
type Specifies the federated provider type. At this point, only Splunk deployments are supported. Defaults to splunk.
useFSHKnowledgeObjects When set to true, specifies that federated searches with this provider use knowledge objects from the federated search head on the local deployment. When set to false, specifies that federated searches with this provider use knowledge objects from the remote deployment specified in the federated provider.

Defaults to True.

Example request and response
Return a list of federated providers. (The XML response shows an example of a single returned federated provider record.)

Name Type Description
name String Required. Specify a unique name for the federated provider.
appContext String Specify the short name of an app to apply an application context to federated searches on the federated provider. The application context determines which set of knowledge objects is applied to the federated searches.
  • If useFSHKnowledgeObjects = true, provide the short name of an app that is installed on the federated search head of your local Splunk provider.
  • If useFSHKnowledgeObjects = false, provide the short name of an app that is installed on the remote search head of the federated provider.

GET

Returns a list of federated indexes.

Request parameters
None specific to this method. This method can use pagination and filtering parameters.

Returned values
This table is limited to settings specific to federated indexes. For descriptions of other index settings returned by this endpoint see the entry for data/indexes.

Name Description

POST

Creates a new federated index definition.

Request parameters

Name Type Description
name String Required. Specify a unique name for the federated index, using the syntax federated:<index_name>. Each federated index maps to only one remote dataset on a federated provider, so the name should reference that dataset.

Index names have the following limitations:
  • They may contain only lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.
  • They must begin with a letter or number.
  • They cannot be more than 2048 characters in length.
  • They cannot contain the string "kvstore".
federated.provider String Required. Specify the federated provider that contains the dataset to which this federated index maps.
federated.dataset String Required. Specify the dataset on the federated.provider to which this federated index maps. The dataset is identified by its type and name, using the following syntax: <type>:<dataset_name>.

For this version of the Splunk platform, the <type> is limited to index.

Returned values
This table is limited to settings specific to federated indexes. For descriptions of other index settings returned by this endpoint see the entry for data/indexes.

Name Description
name Specifies the name of the federated index. Uses the syntax federated:<index_name>.
federated.provider Specifies the federated provider that contains the dataset to which this federated index maps.
federated.dataset Specifies the dataset on the federated.provider to which this federated index maps. Each federated index maps to one dataset on a federated provider. The dataset is identified by its type and name, using the following syntax: <type>:<dataset_name>.

Example request and response
Create a new definition for a federated index named airports-east.

POST

Updates a definition for a specific {federated_index_name}.

Request parameters

At least one argument is required.

Name Type Description
federated.provider String Required. Specify the federated provider that contains the dataset to which this federated index maps.
federated.dataset String Required. Specify the dataset on the federated.provider to which this federated index maps. The dataset is identified by its type and name, using the following syntax: <type>:<dataset_name>.

For this version of the Splunk platform, the <type> is limited to index.

Returned values
This table is limited to settings specific to federated indexes. For descriptions of other index settings returned by this endpoint see the entry for data/indexes.

Name Description
name Specifies the name of the federated index. Uses the syntax federated:<index_name>.
federated.provider Specifies the federated provider that contains the dataset to which this federated index maps.
federated.dataset Specifies the dataset on the federated.provider to which this federated index maps. Each federated index maps to one dataset on a federated provider. The dataset is identified by its type and name, using the following syntax: <type>:<dataset_name>.

Example request and response
Update the dataset mapping for the federated:airports-east federated index.
