Splunk Hadoop Connect provides bi-directional integration to easily and reliably move data between Splunk and Hadoop.

Splunk Hadoop Connect provides bi-directional integration to easily and reliably move data between Splunk and Hadoop. Deploy Splunk quickly for real-time collection, indexing, analysis and visualizations and then reliably forward events to Hadoop for long-term archiving and additional batch analytics. You can further leverage Splunk by importing data already stored in Hadoop. This makes it easy to stand up reliable, secure, enterprise-grade big data projects in days instead of months.

Splunk Hadoop Connect includes three core features:

• Export events to Hadoop - Use Splunk to collect and index massive streams of machine data in real-time. Then send all or a subset of events in a reliable and predictable way to HDFS for archiving, further processing or additional batch analytics. You can choose to pre-process data in Splunk before exporting the results into Hadoop, selecting both the format type as well as specific fields to include. Alternatively, you can simply export raw events.
• Explore Hadoop directories and files - Browse, navigate and inspect HDFS directories and files from the Splunk Hadoop Connect user interface before deciding to import them into Splunk.
• Import and Index Hadoop data into Splunk - Import and index Hadoop data into Splunk to make it available for searching, reporting, analysis and visualizations and provide role-based access controls protection. Gain rapid insight and analysis without writing MapReduce code.
