Splunk logs on Azure Sentinel
Team please confirm whether Splunk logs can be send on Azure Sentinel if yes how and where we can see the logs.
Anurag65 , CliveWatson : we do see customers who prefer to reuse their existing collection infrastructure and hence send logs from a current SIEM to Sentinel. Splunk specifically supports forwarding events in CEF using the Splunk CEF app. You can also forward directly from a forwarder using Syslog.

Hi there. I am working my way thru the Sentinel Ninja training in preparation for being involved in a Sentinel PoC where the client wants to use their existing SPLUNK data collection as the source for Sentinel rather than establish new collector agents or even to forward from their existing collector agents.
Can you point me to any detailed explanation of the steps involved at both ends (Splunk & Azure) to get the data transfer established, so as to best showcase the strengths of Sentinel?
Most frequently the discussions are about getting data from Azure INTO Splunk not the other way round.
Is there any way for Sentinel to access the collected raw data direct from Splunk as it seems that the CEF connector will present a filtered view of the events ... or am I missing the point?
Having read thru the following:
https://docs.microsoft.com/bs-latn-ba/azure/sentinel/connect-common-event-format
and
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CEFapp/2.3.0/DeployCEFapp/AboutSplunkAppforCEF
It would be great to see a worked use case of this Sentinel enrichment implementation.

MicrosoftAutomationMan : I don't have a detailed guide on the topic, though it is a worthwhile topic to add to our list. As to the solution:
- Using CEF does imply normalied data, but therefore modified. This has both advantages and disadvantages.
- The alternative would be to stream Syslog from the forwardersd (here).
- I am not aware of a method to stream from the indexsers sans writing a script that uses the Splunk API.

yokhaldiAutomationMan i just finalised an integration to be able to export any data from splunk index to sentinel. I will share it as soon possible.
