Why teams connect Brightpearl and Splunk

Put Brightpearl's records into Splunk as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Splunk computes back where Brightpearl can use them.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether Brightpearl carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Splunk, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Stacksync syncs Products, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Contacts from Brightpearl into Splunk continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as it goes, so each record type arrives as KV Store Collections, Indexes, HTTP Event Collector, Users and Roles ready to report on. The connection is bi-directional, so segments, scores, and metrics computed in Splunk can be written back to fields in Brightpearl where that is useful.

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 Keep the product catalog aligned between Brightpearl and e-commerce channels, including price list changes.
  • 04 Land order and margin data in a warehouse for retail performance reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Brightpearl runs operations: inventory and fulfillment metrics

Operational records from Brightpearl become measurable in Splunk, joinable with the rest of what the company tracks for supply and fulfillment reporting.

Where Brightpearl is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis

Worker and organization data from Brightpearl syncs into Splunk for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

Write-back where Brightpearl exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Splunk sync onto the matching records in Brightpearl, so operations act on what the analysis found.

What you can sync between Brightpearl 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.

Brightpearl objects Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Invoices and payments Financial documents synced to accounting platforms for reconciliation. 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. Invoices and payments is specific to Brightpearl and Dashboards to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom fields Per-object custom attributes included in field mappings. Search Results SPL searches dispatched via POST /services/search/jobs return a search ID (SID); results are pulled from /services/search/jobs/{sid}/results once the job completes, or synchronously via oneshot/export mode. The primary read path for streaming indexed events out to a warehouse. Custom fields is specific to Brightpearl and Search Results to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products SKU records with variants and price lists, synced with e-commerce and ERP catalogs. 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. Products is specific to Brightpearl and Saved Searches to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Orders from all channels; the central object for fulfillment and revenue syncs. 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. Sales orders is specific to Brightpearl and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supplier orders synced with procurement or accounting systems. 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. Purchase orders is specific to Brightpearl and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Customers and suppliers in one contact model, matched to CRM records by email or reference. 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. Contacts is specific to Brightpearl and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Brightpearl 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.

Brightpearl Splunk Sub-second propagation

DetectionBrightpearl notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for object created/updated events, with resource search polling as a fallback.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Splunk through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Splunk Brightpearl 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 written to Brightpearl through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Brightpearl: Requests are throttled per account under Brightpearl's API usage policies; bulk operations should use batch endpoints.
  • 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 Brightpearl and Splunk connectors work

Brightpearl

Integration surface
REST API, organized into services (order, product, contact, warehouse, accounting)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (authorization code grant) for current apps; legacy private and public apps authenticate with app reference and account token headers
Change detection
Webhooks for object created/updated events, with resource search polling as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
Requests are throttled per account under Brightpearl's API usage policies; bulk operations should use batch endpoints

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.

Rate limits
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.
