Why teams connect QAD ERP and Splunk

Put QAD ERP's records into Splunk as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Splunk computes back where QAD ERP 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 QAD ERP 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 Sales orders, Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances from QAD ERP into Splunk continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as it goes, so each record type arrives as Saved Searches, Fired Alerts, KV Store Collections, Indexes ready to report on. The connection is bi-directional, so segments, scores, and metrics computed in Splunk can be written back to fields in QAD ERP where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Export Users and Roles into an IAM database for periodic access reviews, or provision them from an identity source of truth.
  • 03 Consolidate data from multiple QAD instances, per plant or region, into one reporting database.
  • 04 Sync items, customers, and orders between QAD and a CRM so sales teams work outside ERP screens.

Common sync patterns

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

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

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

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

Where QAD ERP holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data

Financial records from QAD ERP land in Splunk as they change, so revenue, margin, and spend dashboards read current figures rather than last night's export.

What you can sync between QAD ERP 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.

QAD ERP objects Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance 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. Purchase orders is specific to QAD ERP and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work orders Production records replicated for scheduling and shop-floor analytics 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. Work orders is specific to QAD ERP and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility 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. Inventory balances is specific to QAD ERP and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting 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. General ledger transactions is specific to QAD ERP and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems Users and Roles Accounts at /services/authentication/users and role/capability definitions at /services/authorization/roles, with full CRUD; exported for access reviews or provisioned from an identity source of truth. Items is specific to QAD ERP and Users and Roles to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM 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. Customers is specific to QAD ERP and Dashboards to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between QAD ERP 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.

QAD ERP Splunk Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls QAD ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the API surface.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API 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.
