How to use Splunk Universal Forwarders With BindPlane OP

A tutorial on how to start collecting data from your splunk universal forwarders using BindPlane as an aggregator, giving you the ability to start sending telemetry data to multiple destinations. About ObservIQ: observIQ brings clarity and control to our customer's existing observability chaos. How? Through an observability pipeline: a fast, powerful and intuitive orchestration engine built for the modern observability team. Our product is designed to help teams significantly reduce cost, simplify collection, and standardize their observability data.

How to Remove Fields with Empty Values From Your Logs

Much of the log data we handle doesn’t offer substantial insight and can be conveniently removed from your logs, helping us reduce costs. What may seem like a small adjustment, like deleting an attribute, can have significant implications when scaled up. A typical case involves fields in your logs presenting empty values or housing data considered irrelevant. Below we’ll take a look at a few examples of what this looks like and how you can take action in BindPlane OP.

Transforming Your Telemetry Has Never Been Easier

As the foundation of your observability stack, BindPlane OP provides great visibility into your telemetry data, all the way from collection to its final destination. With the introduction of Live Preview in BPOP Enterprise, and a brand new processor workflow, we’ve now made this even better.

Integrating BindPlane Into Your Splunk Environment

Splunk is a popular logging, and in the case of Splunk Cloud also metrics, platform. The BindPlane Agent is capable of integrating with Splunk; both for incoming telemetry to a Splunk Indexer and outgoing telemetry from a Splunk Forwarder. By integrating in this manner, telemetry not natively supported by Splunk can be sent in; and going the other way the telemetry can be sent to other platforms.
