Why teams connect Pigment and Splunk

Feed the customers, invoices, and revenue records in Pigment into Splunk in real time, so dashboards and reports run on current numbers instead of last night's export.

Pigment holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were invoiced, what they paid, and what revenue landed. Splunk is where that data is turned into dashboards, reports, and metrics, but it only reflects the world as of its last load. When the connection between them is a scheduled extract or a hand-built pipeline, analysis runs a step behind the books, and the numbers on a chart rarely match the numbers in the finance system.

Stacksync keeps Tables, Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions in Pigment in sync with Indexes, HTTP Event Collector, Users and Roles, Dashboards in Splunk, field by field and in real time. A customer, invoice, or amount created or corrected in Pigment shows up in Splunk within seconds, mapped to the right record. Where Splunk keeps its own accounts or users, the flow runs both ways, so finance attributes can enrich what Splunk already tracks.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning's reporting running on yesterday's figures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push CRM pipeline data (deals, stages, amounts) into Pigment for revenue and capacity planning.
  • 02 Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • 03 Ingest application, CRM, or database records into Splunk via the HTTP Event Collector so operational data lands alongside logs for correlation and dashboards.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Where Splunk keeps account or user records: finance attributes enrich them

Status, plan, or outstanding balance from Pigment attaches to the matching account or user in Splunk, so segments and cohorts can be cut by real financial standing.

Financial records land in Splunk for reporting

Invoices, payments, and revenue from Pigment flow into Splunk as they change, so dashboards are built on live figures rather than a periodic extract.

One customer key across both

A customer or account in Pigment is matched to the corresponding record in Splunk, so financial numbers join cleanly to whatever Splunk already reports on.

What you can sync between Pigment 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.

Pigment objects Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce 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. Applications is specific to Pigment and Dashboards to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data 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. Metrics is specific to Pigment and Search Results to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by 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. Dimension lists is specific to Pigment and Saved Searches to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems 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. Tables is specific to Pigment and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context 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. Scenarios is specific to Pigment and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model 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. Data imports is specific to Pigment and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Pigment 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.

Pigment Splunk Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pigment for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No change feed.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Pigment: Subject to the platform's 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.
