The Splunk HDFS Connector app provides a connector for sending data from Splunk to the Hadoop HDFS file system. It includes a dashboard that allows you to view status information about the connector on your Splunk indexer.
You can use the HDFS Connector in the following ways:
The HDFS Connector app runs on a Splunk instance, typically an indexer. It forwards data to HDFS by way of a connector. The connector sends data to Hadoop in either of two ways:
The connector also sends status data back to Splunk, which can be viewed through a dashboard included with the app.
This manual assumes your Splunk instance is a single indexer, but you can also use the connector with a heavy forwarder or in a scaled-out, multi-indexer environment.
For a detailed description, see "What an HDFS Connector deployment looks like".
The HDFS Connector app is available on Splunkbase.
