Using Splunk Ingest Actions with AWS S3

As data volumes grow, organizations continue to seek innovative ways to efficiently store, analyze, and manage data while controlling costs. Splunk Ingest Actions, now a standard feature set in Splunk Enterprise v9.x and Splunk Cloud - provide a game-changing solution by seamlessly integrating with Amazon S3, allowing you to offload data from Splunk indexers and leverage S3's scalability and cost-effectiveness.

For many use cases, Ingest Actions allows customers the dual benefit of saving all data for compliance and retention period requirements, while at the same time reducing the amount of data indexed thereby optimizing license utilization. Additionally, since Ingest Actions is a feature set that is native to the Splunk platform, there is not a need for an additional data pipeline platform solution to achieve license and data storage optimization.

In this Lunch n’ Learn, we will look at how Splunk Ingest Actions can help you revolutionize your data management strategy and explore the benefits of integrating Splunk with Amazon S3.

Our speakers will guide you through the setup of Ingest Actions in Splunk and cover key use-cases where it can be used to achieve the following outcomes:

1. Optimize data storage costs, license utilization, and performance.
2. Maintain data security and compliance using S3's security features.
3. Streamline data lifecycle management using S3's storage tiers and automated transition policies.

Whether you're a Splunk admin, data analyst, or IT pro, this session will equip you with the knowledge for how to start implementing this strategy in your Splunk environment.
