Chapter 317. Splunk Component


Available as of Camel version 2.13

The Splunk component provides access to Splunk using the Splunk provided client api, and it enables you to publish and search for events in Splunk.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
        <artifactId>camel-splunk</artifactId>
        <version>${camel-version}</version>
    </dependency>

317.1. URI format

  splunk://[endpoint]?[options]

317.2. Producer Endpoints:

EndpointDescription

stream

Streams data to a named index or the default if not specified. When using stream mode be aware of that Splunk has some internal buffer (about 1MB or so) before events gets to the index. If you need realtime, better use submit or tcp mode.

submit

submit mode. Uses Splunk rest api to publish events to a named index or the default if not specified.

tcp

tcp mode. Streams data to a tcp port, and requires a open receiver port in Splunk.

When publishing events the message body should contain a SplunkEvent. See comment under message body.

Example

      from("direct:start").convertBodyTo(SplunkEvent.class)
          .to("splunk://submit?username=user&password=123&index=myindex&sourceType=someSourceType&source=mySource")...

In this example a converter is required to convert to a SplunkEvent class.

317.3. Consumer Endpoints:

EndpointDescription

normal

Performs normal search and requires a search query in the search option.

savedsearch

Performs search based on a search query saved in splunk and requires the name of the query in the savedSearch option.

Example

      from("splunk://normal?delay=5s&username=user&password=123&initEarliestTime=-10s&search=search index=myindex sourcetype=someSourcetype")
          .to("direct:search-result");

camel-splunk creates a route exchange per search result with a SplunkEvent in the body.

317.4. URI Options

The Splunk component supports 2 options, which are listed below.

NameDescriptionDefaultType

splunkConfiguration Factory (advanced)

String

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

count (consumer)

A number that indicates the maximum number of entities to return.

 

int

String

savedSearch (consumer)

The name of the query saved in Splunk to run

 

String

String

sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle (consumer)

false

boolean

streaming (consumer)

Sets streaming mode. Streaming mode sends exchanges as they are received, rather than in a batch.

 

Boolean

exceptionHandler (consumer)

To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

 

ExceptionHandler

exchangePattern (consumer)

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.

 

ExchangePattern

pollStrategy (consumer)

A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel.

int

backoffIdleThreshold (scheduler)

The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in.

 

int

backoffMultiplier (scheduler)

To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the next actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured.

317.6. Message body

Splunk operates on data in key/value pairs. The SplunkEvent class is a placeholder for such data, and should be in the message body for the producer. Likewise it will be returned in the body per search result for the consumer.

As of Camel 2.16.0 you can send raw data to Splunk by setting the raw option on the producer endpoint. This is useful for eg. json/xml and other payloads where Splunk has build in support.

317.7. Use Cases

Search Twitter for tweets with music and publish events to Splunk

      from("twitter://search?type=polling&keywords=music&delay=10&consumerKey=abc&consumerSecret=def&accessToken=hij&accessTokenSecret=xxx")
          .convertBodyTo(SplunkEvent.class)
          .to("splunk://submit?username=foo&password=bar&index=camel-tweets&sourceType=twitter&source=music-tweets");

To convert a Tweet to a SplunkEvent you could use a converter like

@Converter
public class Tweet2SplunkEvent {
    @Converter
    public static SplunkEvent convertTweet(Status status) {
        SplunkEvent data = new SplunkEvent("twitter-message", null);
        //data.addPair("source", status.getSource());
        data.addPair("from_user", status.getUser().getScreenName());
        data.addPair("in_reply_to", status.getInReplyToScreenName());
        data.addPair(SplunkEvent.COMMON_START_TIME, status.getCreatedAt());
        data.addPair(SplunkEvent.COMMON_EVENT_ID, status.getId());
        data.addPair("text", status.getText());
        data.addPair("retweet_count", status.getRetweetCount());
        if (status.getPlace() != null) {
            data.addPair("place_country", status.getPlace().getCountry());
            data.addPair("place_name", status.getPlace().getName());
            data.addPair("place_street", status.getPlace().getStreetAddress());
        }
        if (status.getGeoLocation() != null) {
            data.addPair("geo_latitude", status.getGeoLocation().getLatitude());
            data.addPair("geo_longitude", status.getGeoLocation().getLongitude());
        }
        return data;
    }
}

Search Splunk for tweets

      from("splunk://normal?username=foo&password=bar&initEarliestTime=-2m&search=search index=camel-tweets sourcetype=twitter")
          .log("${body}");

317.8. Other comments

Splunk comes with a variety of options for leveraging machine generated data with prebuilt apps for analyzing and displaying this.
For example the jmx app. could be used to publish jmx attributes, eg. route and jvm metrics to Splunk, and displaying this on a dashboard.
