Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Splunk
Give Splunk the users, events, and records that live in Azure Cosmos DB in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Splunk computes back into Azure Cosmos DB where your applications read them.
A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Splunk is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Azure Cosmos DB into Splunk usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.
Stacksync syncs Containers, Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries in Azure Cosmos DB with Fired Alerts, KV Store Collections, Indexes, HTTP Event Collector in Splunk in real time and in both directions. Operational rows flow into Splunk as they change, so dashboards read current data with no pipeline to maintain, and the segments, cohorts, or scores Splunk computes flow back into Azure Cosmos DB, where the applications and services that read from it get them at normal query latency. Field-level mapping, schema and type translation, and conflict resolution are handled for you.
Common use cases
- 01 Read and write KV Store collections to keep Splunk lookups — asset inventories, allow/deny lists, enrichment tables — in sync with an external source of truth in both directions.
- 02 Provision and update Saved Searches, alerts, and Dashboards from a Git-backed config repository so detections and reports stay versioned and consistent across search heads.
- 03 Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
- 04 Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.
Common sync patterns
Where Splunk builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read
Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Splunk sync back into Azure Cosmos DB, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.
Analytics on live operational data, minus the pipeline
The users, events, orders, and records stored in Azure Cosmos DB land in Splunk as they change, so dashboards, funnels, and metrics run on current data instead of last night's extract.
One version of each user or account
A user, account, or record corrected in either system updates the other, so the identity your reports group by matches the identity your database stores.
What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB 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.
| Azure Cosmos DB objects | Splunk objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. | Saved Searches Scheduled searches, reports, and the definitions behind alerts at /services/saved/searches with full create, update, and delete. Read out for governance and coverage review, or provisioned and updated from a config source. | Partition keys is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Saved Searches to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. | 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. | Change feed entries is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. | 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. | Stored procedures and triggers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. | 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. | Databases is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. | 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. | Containers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. | 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. | Items (JSON documents) is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Users and Roles to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Azure Cosmos DB 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.
Azure Cosmos DB Splunk Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in Azure Cosmos DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Splunk through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Splunk Azure Cosmos DB Sub-second propagation
DetectionSplunk notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Time-range searches over indexed events (earliest/latest on _time or _indextime).
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure Cosmos DB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Rate-limit considerations
- 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.

How the Azure Cosmos DB and Splunk connectors work
Azure Cosmos DB
- Integration surface
- REST API and SDKs over HTTPS (API for NoSQL, formerly the SQL API); also MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table API surfaces
- Authentication
- Account keys, resource tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID role-based access
- Change detection
- Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range
- Capabilities

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
Azure Cosmos DB and Splunk integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Cosmos DB and Splunk: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Cosmos DB's Partition keys and Change feed entries), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Azure Cosmos DB: REST API and SDKs over HTTPS (API for NoSQL, formerly the SQL API); also MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table API surfaces. Authentication: Account keys, resource tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID role-based access. 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: Splunk exposes two API surfaces: the management REST API (default port 8089) for search jobs, saved searches, KV Store, indexes, users, and roles, and the HTTP Event Collector (default port 8088, port 443 on Splunk Cloud) for pushing events and metrics in — so the connector both reads from and writes into Splunk. Azure Cosmos DB: Throughput is provisioned in request units per container or database, which means sync read and write volume has a direct cost and throttling dimension. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Azure Cosmos DB 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 Azure Cosmos DB and Splunk records are not retained after a sync operation.
