Why teams connect Dremio and Splunk

Put the same events, users, and metrics on both sides: Splunk and Dremio stay current in real time, in both directions.

Splunk is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Dremio is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Stacksync syncs Dashboards, Search Results, Saved Searches, Fired Alerts in Splunk with Apache Iceberg tables, Spaces and folders, Reflections, Jobs in Dremio field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set. Whether the flow is warehouse tables feeding live reports or captured events and segments landing back in Dremio, every copy stays consistent.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync fired-alert history and saved-search definitions into Postgres so security and reliability teams query alert trends and detection coverage in SQL.
  • 02 Ingest application, CRM, or database records into Splunk via the HTTP Event Collector so operational data lands alongside logs for correlation and dashboards.
  • 03 Consolidate data from multiple lake sources through one Dremio semantic layer into a single warehouse target.
  • 04 Sync curated Dremio views into an operational Postgres so applications get low-latency access to lakehouse data.

Common sync patterns

Where Dremio holds the source tables: live data in the reporting layer

Records maintained in Dremio flow into Splunk as they change, so dashboards and reports read current rows rather than an overnight extract.

Where Splunk produces segments or scores: results back to the warehouse

Cohorts, segments, and computed metrics defined in Splunk write to Dremio as tables the rest of the stack can query and join.

Shared user and account keys

Users and accounts tracked in Splunk line up with the customer or user rows in Dremio on a stable key, so both sides count the same population.

What you can sync between Dremio 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.

Dremio objects Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. 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. Spaces and folders is specific to Dremio and Search Results to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. 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. Reflections is specific to Dremio and Saved Searches to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. 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. Jobs is specific to Dremio and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sources Connected storage and database systems (S3, ADLS, relational databases) Dremio queries in place. 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. Sources is specific to Dremio and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. 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. Physical datasets is specific to Dremio and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. 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. Virtual datasets (views) is specific to Dremio and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dremio 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.

Dremio Splunk Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dremio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL.

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

Splunk Dremio 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 Dremio as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dremio: Bounded by engine capacity and workload management rather than 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.

How the Dremio and Splunk connectors work

Dremio

Integration surface
Arrow Flight SQL, JDBC/ODBC, and a REST API
Authentication
Personal access tokens or username/password; OAuth-based SSO on Dremio Cloud
Change detection
Polling via SQL; Iceberg table snapshots can anchor incremental reads; no consumer-facing change feed
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.
Capabilities

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.
