Configure inputs

Breaking change in v5.0.0

The Application Events, Policy Audit, and Threat Detection inputs were removed in v5.0.0. The underlying CyberArk EPM API endpoints were removed by CyberArk in EPM v24.12.x. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, migrate your existing inputs before upgrading:

Removed input Replacement input Replacement API type
Application Events Inbox Events Aggregated Events
Threat Detection Inbox Events Aggregated Events
Policy Audit Policy Audit Events Aggregated Events

Update any saved searches, dashboards, or alerts that reference the sourcetypes cyberark:epm:application:events, cyberark:epm:policy:audit, or cyberark:epm:threat:detection.

The following input types are new as of version 2.0.0. These inputs have a “Start Date” field which can be configured by the user to collect data from the desired date and time:

  • Inbox Events
  • Policy Audit Events

The Splunk Add-on for CyberArk EPM collects all events for the Policies and Computers input type.

For supported EPM REST endpoints, the add-on omits the API version so that the EPM server selects its latest available version. The dedicated Computer Groups endpoint continues to use its documented v2 path.

You can use Splunk Web to configure these inputs.
