Why teams connect 6sense and Splunk
Put live 6sense data behind every dashboard and cohort in Splunk, and write the segments and scores Splunk computes back onto the 6sense record — one connection, not a nightly export.
6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Splunk, so Splunk always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.
Splunk turns data into dashboards, cohorts, and metrics; 6sense is where customers, contacts, deals, and activity actually live and change. The two meet wherever a number is really about a specific account, segment, or stage — yet most teams feed the CRM into analytics as a nightly extract or a hand-maintained connector, so the reporting lags the business and can't be sliced by the customers and segments that matter.
Stacksync syncs Accounts, Segments, Buying Stage Scores, Intent Signals from 6sense into Splunk field by field and within seconds, so every dashboard and cohort runs on current records instead of a stale copy. Because the connection runs both ways, the cohorts, scores, and metrics computed in Splunk write back to fields in 6sense, landing where the people working accounts can see them. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.
Common use cases
- 01 Export Users and Roles into an IAM database for periodic access reviews, or provision them from an identity source of truth.
- 02 Sync fired-alert history and saved-search definitions into Postgres so security and reliability teams query alert trends and detection coverage in SQL.
- 03 Feed in-market account lists to sales engagement tools to start sequences automatically.
- 04 Sync 6sense buying stage and intent scores onto CRM accounts so sellers prioritize in-market targets.
Common sync patterns
Report on live CRM data
New records and status changes in 6sense appear in Splunk within seconds, so dashboards and cohorts track the current pipeline rather than last night's export.
Where 6sense accepts updates: segments and scores back on the record
Cohorts, scores, and computed metrics from Splunk sync onto fields in 6sense, putting the analysis where reps and owners actually work the accounts.
One customer across analytics and CRM
The same account or person is keyed consistently in both systems, so a profile or row in Splunk lines up with the contact or account in 6sense.
What you can sync between 6sense and Splunk
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| 6sense objects | Splunk objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. | Fired Alerts Triggered alert instances listed at /services/alerts/fired_alerts; alert configuration (conditions, schedule, actions) lives on the corresponding saved search. Landed in a database for alert-trend and detection-coverage reporting. | Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. | KV Store Collections App-scoped, MongoDB-backed key-value collections at /servicesNS/{owner}/{app}/storage/collections/data/{collection} with full CRUD and batch endpoints. Genuinely bidirectional lookup/state store — read records out or write records in. | People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. | Indexes Index inventory and settings (retention, max size, event counts) via /services/data/indexes, with create and edit; loaded into a database for capacity, retention, and data-onboarding tracking. | Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. | HTTP Event Collector The write-in path: POST events and metrics to /services/collector (port 8088, or 443 on Splunk Cloud) authenticated with a per-input HEC token, so external records are indexed alongside logs for search and correlation. | Accounts is specific to 6sense and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. | Users and Roles Accounts at /services/authentication/users and role/capability definitions at /services/authorization/roles, with full CRUD; exported for access reviews or provisioned from an identity source of truth. | Segments is specific to 6sense and Users and Roles to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. | Dashboards Simple XML dashboard and view definitions at /servicesNS/{owner}/{app}/data/ui/views; exported for backup and audit, or created and updated programmatically from version control. | Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and Dashboards to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between 6sense and Splunk
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
6sense Splunk Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls 6sense for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Splunk through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Splunk 6sense Sub-second propagation
DetectionSplunk notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Time-range searches over indexed events (earliest/latest on _time or _indextime).
Delivery6sense does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: 6sense's output flows back as field updates on the originating Splunk records.
Rate-limit considerations
- 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
- Splunk: The management REST API throttles through search-concurrency quotas — max concurrent searches per user and role, plus per-CPU historical search limits in limits.conf — rather than a fixed per-request rate; exceeding quota queues or blocks jobs. HEC has per-token and per-instance throughput limits, and Splunk Cloud adds ingestion and API limits on top.

Splunk
- Integration surface
- REST API (management API + HTTP Event Collector)
- Authentication
- HTTP Basic (username/password), or a session key from POST /services/auth/login sent as Authorization: Splunk <key>, or a bearer authentication token (Authorization: Bearer <token>). The HTTP Event Collector uses its own per-input token (Authorization: Splunk <hec-token>). Management API defaults to port 8089; HEC to port 8088 (443 on Splunk Cloud).
- Change detection
- Time-range searches over indexed events (earliest/latest on _time or _indextime); events are immutable once indexed, so incremental extraction advances a time cursor rather than a modified-date CDC feed. Config objects such as saved searches and KV Store are polled; alerts can push via a saved-search webhook action.

FAQ
6sense and Splunk integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time integration between 6sense and Splunk — 6sense is a read-only source, so data flows from it into the other system: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync, map fields visually, and changes propagate in milliseconds — no code required.
-
6sense is a read-only source, so this integration runs one-way: Stacksync reads from 6sense in real time and delivers into Splunk. Field mapping and monitoring work the same as for two-way pairs.
-
Common patterns for 6sense and Splunk: Report on live CRM data; Where 6sense accepts updates: segments and scores back on the record; One customer across analytics and CRM. New records and status changes in 6sense appear in Splunk within seconds, so dashboards and cohorts track the current pipeline rather than last night's export.

6sense: REST API. Authentication: API key (token passed in request headers). Splunk: REST API (management API + HTTP Event Collector). Authentication: HTTP Basic (username/password), or a session key from POST /services/auth/login sent as Authorization: Splunk <key>, or a bearer authentication token (Authorization: Bearer <token>). The HTTP Event Collector uses its own per-input token (Authorization: Splunk <hec-token>). Management API defaults to port 8089; HEC to port 8088 (443 on Splunk Cloud). Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Splunk: The REST API is governed by search-concurrency quotas (per-user/role and per-CPU historical search limits in limits.conf) rather than a fixed request rate; HEC and Splunk Cloud add throughput and ingestion limits. 6sense: The platform is primarily a data provider in integrations; most syncs read scores and segments out rather than writing records in. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between 6sense and Splunk without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means 6sense and Splunk records are not retained after a sync operation.
