Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Splunk

Put DEAR Inventory's records into Splunk as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Splunk computes back where DEAR Inventory 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 DEAR Inventory 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 Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers from DEAR Inventory into Splunk continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as it goes, so each record type arrives as Users and Roles, Dashboards, Search Results, Saved Searches ready to report on. The connection is bi-directional, so segments, scores, and metrics computed in Splunk can be written back to fields in DEAR Inventory where that is useful.

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 Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
  • 04 Land orders, costs, and inventory movements in a warehouse for margin and stock-turn reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where DEAR Inventory runs operations: inventory and fulfillment metrics

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

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

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

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

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

What you can sync between DEAR Inventory 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.

DEAR Inventory objects Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase orders Supplier orders and receiving records synced with accounting and planning tools. 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. Purchase orders is specific to DEAR Inventory and Search Results to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. 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. Customers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Saved Searches to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. 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. Suppliers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. 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. Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to DEAR Inventory and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. 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. Assemblies / Production is specific to DEAR Inventory and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. 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. Locations is specific to DEAR Inventory and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DEAR Inventory 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.

DEAR Inventory Splunk Sub-second propagation

DetectionDEAR Inventory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with modified-since filters.

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

Splunk DEAR Inventory 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 DEAR Inventory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • DEAR Inventory: Subject to the platform's per-account API rate limits.
  • 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.
