Our application of container technology behaves much like a packaging system. That said, using a runtime like Podman to deploy and manage SC4S containers is exceptionally easy even for those with no prior “container experience”.
Splunk universal forwarder configuration how to#
Q: What if my team doesn’t know how to manage containers?Ī: SC4S supports both container-based and “bring-your-own-environment” (BYOE) deployment methods. The HEC architecture allows for the use of an industry standard load balancer between SC4S and the Indexer, or the included load balancing capability built into SC4S itself. Q: Is the Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) as reliable as the Splunk Universal Forwarder?Ī: HEC utilizes standard HTTP mechanisms to confirm that the endpoint is responsive before sending data. This rich data stream can be taken advantage of in next-generation TAs. Lastly, HEC (and in particular, the “/event” endpoint) offers the opportunity for a far richer data stream to Splunk, with lower resource utilization at ingest. There are far fewer opportunities for mis-configuration, resulting in higher overall performance and customer adoption. The HEC architecture designed into SC4S is also far easier to administer with newer versions of syslog-ng, which SC4S takes advantage of. This benefit is especially valuable in large Splunk deployments. This even distribution results in significantly enhanced search performance. Why switch to a HTTP Event Collector (HEC) based architecture?Ī: Using HEC to stream events directly to the Indexers provides superior load balancing which has shown to produce dramatically more even data distribution across the Indexers. Q: The Universal Forwarder/files based architecture has been the documented Splunk best practice for a long time.
