Why teams connect Ramp and Splunk

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

Ramp 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 Bills, Vendors, Funds (Spend Controls), General Ledger Accounts in Ramp in sync with KV Store Collections, Indexes, HTTP Event Collector, Users and Roles in Splunk, field by field and in real time. A customer, invoice, or amount created or corrected in Ramp 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 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 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

Revenue alongside the rest of the data

The amounts Ramp records sit next to product, usage, or operational data in Splunk, so a single view combines what was billed with what actually happened.

Reports refresh as the books change

Instead of waiting for a scheduled load, Splunk updates the moment a figure moves in Ramp, so a dashboard opened at any point in the day is current.

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

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

What you can sync between Ramp 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.

Ramp objects Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. 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. Users is specific to Ramp and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. 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. Departments is specific to Ramp and Indexes to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. 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. Reimbursements is specific to Ramp and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. 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. Bills is specific to Ramp and Users and Roles to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. 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. Vendors is specific to Ramp and Dashboards to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. 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. Funds (Spend Controls) is specific to Ramp and Search Results to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ramp 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.

Ramp Splunk Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.
  • 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 Ramp and Splunk connectors work

Ramp

Integration surface
REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).
Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
Capabilities

Rate limits
200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.
Ramp setup guide

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
read · write · webhooks
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. HEC has per-token and per-instance throughput limits, and Splunk Cloud adds ingestion and API limits on top.
