We have seen how to enable Splunk to use the methods which they have developed in data inputs. Finally, we have gained brief knowledge about the data inputs for Splunk.

In the next chapter, we will learn about how to format all incoming data to a Splunk-friendly format, pre-indexing, in order to ease search querying and knowledge management going forward.
