SPL2 templates and modules for Amazon Web Services logs

SPL2 content for the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services currently includes two artifact types:

  • Templates, which are end-to-end SPL2 pipelines for transforming, reducing, extracting fields from, or generating metrics from log data.
  • Field-extraction modules, which are reusable SPL2 functions generated from add-on knowledge objects such as props.conf and transforms.conf.

Templates and modules are available for the Edge Processor and Ingest Processor. See the following documentation for more information:
