Summary
In this chapter, we walked through various data input methods along with various data sources supported by Splunk. We also looked at HTTP Event Collector, which is a new feature added in Splunk 6.3 for data collection via REST to encourage the usage of Splunk for IoT. We studied data processing, event segmentation, and ways by which we can improve the data input process. In the next chapter, we will cover how to create analytics and provide meaningful insight over the data uploaded on Splunk.
