Why teams connect Recurly and Splunk

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

Recurly 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 Coupons and Redemptions, Billing Info, Measured Units and Usage, Accounts in Recurly in sync with Users and Roles, Dashboards, Search Results, Saved Searches in Splunk, field by field and in real time. A customer, invoice, or amount created or corrected in Recurly 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 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 02 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 03 Export Users and Roles into an IAM database for periodic access reviews, or provision them from an identity source of truth.
  • 04 Sync fired-alert history and saved-search definitions into Postgres so security and reliability teams query alert trends and detection coverage in SQL.

Common sync patterns

Revenue alongside the rest of the data

The amounts Recurly 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 Recurly, 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 Recurly 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 Recurly 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.

Recurly objects Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. 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. Coupons and Redemptions is specific to Recurly and Users and Roles to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). 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. Billing Info is specific to Recurly and Dashboards to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. 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. Measured Units and Usage is specific to Recurly and Search Results to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. 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. Accounts is specific to Recurly and Saved Searches to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. 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. Subscriptions is specific to Recurly and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. 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. Plans is specific to Recurly and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Recurly 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.

Recurly Splunk Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
  • 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 Recurly and Splunk connectors work

Recurly

Integration surface
REST API (V3, date-versioned; legacy V2 XML API also exists)
Authentication
API key via HTTP Basic auth (key as username, blank password); keys are per-site, with separate sandbox and production keys
Change detection
Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints sorted by updated_at with begin_time/end_time filters
Capabilities

Rate limits
Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.

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.
