data pipeline

data pipeline

noun

The route that data takes through Splunk Enterprise, from its origin in sources such as log files and network feeds, to its transformation into searchable events that encapsulate valuable knowledge. The data pipeline includes these segments:

• Input
• Parsing
• Indexing
• Search

You can assign each of these segments to a different Splunk Enterprise instance or component.
