Why teams connect Splunk and Tinybird

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

Splunk is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Tinybird 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 Indexes, HTTP Event Collector, Users and Roles, Dashboards in Splunk with Data Sources, Pipes, API Endpoints, Materialized Views in Tinybird 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 Tinybird, every copy stays consistent.

Common use cases

  • 01 Ingest application, CRM, or database records into Splunk via the HTTP Event Collector so operational data lands alongside logs for correlation and dashboards.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.
  • 04 Compute aggregates in Tinybird and write the results back to CRM fields for scoring and routing.

Common sync patterns

Shared user and account keys

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

Corrections propagate instead of reloading

When a record is fixed or backfilled on one side, the change reaches the other without a full reload, keeping history consistent across both.

One number both sides agree on

Metrics and aggregates stay aligned between the two systems, so a figure shown in Splunk matches the Tinybird table it was built from instead of drifting between refreshes.

What you can sync between Splunk and Tinybird

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.

Splunk objects Tinybird objects How this pairing syncs
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. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. Indexes is specific to Splunk and API Endpoints to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. HTTP Event Collector is specific to Splunk and Materialized Views to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. Users and Roles is specific to Splunk and Workspaces to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. Dashboards is specific to Splunk and Tokens to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. Search Results is specific to Splunk and Data Sources to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. Saved Searches is specific to Splunk and Pipes to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Splunk and Tinybird

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.

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

Tinybird Splunk Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.

How the Splunk and Tinybird connectors work

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.
