Why teams connect CockroachDB and Splunk
Give Splunk the users, events, and records that live in CockroachDB in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Splunk computes back into CockroachDB 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 CockroachDB 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 Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in CockroachDB 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 CockroachDB, 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 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 Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
- 04 Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.
Common sync patterns
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.
Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh
Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Splunk because they sync from CockroachDB as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.
Where Splunk tracks product events: behavior onto stored records
Signup, usage, and lifecycle events captured in Splunk sync into CockroachDB as rows, so applications and internal tools can read behavioral data next to the records they already keep.
What you can sync between CockroachDB 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.
| CockroachDB objects | Splunk objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. | 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. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. | 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. | Tables is specific to CockroachDB and Search Results to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. | 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. | Views is specific to CockroachDB and Saved Searches to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. | 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. | Sequences is specific to CockroachDB and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. | 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. | Changefeeds is specific to CockroachDB and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. | 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. | Databases is specific to CockroachDB and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between CockroachDB 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.
CockroachDB Splunk Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in CockroachDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Splunk through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Splunk CockroachDB 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 CockroachDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Rate-limit considerations
- CockroachDB: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity.
- 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 CockroachDB and Splunk connectors work
CockroachDB
- Integration surface
- SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
- Authentication
- Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
- Change detection
- CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
- Capabilities
- read · write · CDC
- Rate limits
- No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity
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
CockroachDB and Splunk integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between CockroachDB and Splunk: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as CockroachDB's Indexes and Tables), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed CockroachDB and Splunk connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom CockroachDB–Splunk integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both CockroachDB and Splunk. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on CockroachDB: CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback. On Splunk: 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. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Splunk side: Fired Alerts, KV Store Collections, Indexes, HTTP Event Collector, plus custom fields where Splunk exposes them. On the CockroachDB side: Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
