Solution architecture

  • The application consists of two elements:

    • The Add-on runs collector scripts to gather metrics from the ECS nodes. Then, it stores this data in a Splunk index which the ECS App for Splunk uses to build the dashboards. Syslog and access logs are also forwarded to the Splunk Heavy Forwarder to be indexed and to populate various dashboards.
    • The main application parses the indexed data that was collected from the ECS Add-on app and runs searches on the indexed data to populate the various dashboards.

    The following high-level architecture diagram shows a distributed Splunk environment where ECS data is collected by a heavy forwarder, sent to an indexer, and displayed by the application which resides on a search head.
