How to implement a openidm splunk audit failover


i am using Splunk as the AuditHandler for my openIDM solution and I want to make sure that when the connection to Splunk fails for exp. in a server issue. Then i want to rewrite the data since to timestamp of the connection loss.

Is there a simple solution for that or do i need to implement a logic?

thanks Burhan


Solution

  • If you can, write your openIDM events to a file and monitor that file with a Splunk Universal Forwarder (UF). The UF will read the file and send the contents to Splunk. If the connection to Splunk is lost, the UF will resume where it left off once the connection is restored.
