Configuring the BIG-IP to send analytics data to Splunk

F5 has created an iApp that simplifies the process of configuring your BIG-IP to send Analytics data to remote sources (including Splunk and/or BIG-IQ). There is also a deployment guide that walks you through the steps needed to configure the iApp.

• Details about the iApp and deployment guide can be found on the Ask F5 Support site here: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K07859431
• You can also find a high-level overview of the iApp, as well as some additional resources (including demo videos of the Splunk integration) on the following F5 DevCentral page: https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/f5-analytics-iapp

Note

The F5 Analytics iApp template itself does not ship with the product, but can be downloaded from the F5 downloads site (https://downloads.f5.com).

For your convenience, we have already downloaded the iApp template on the Windows jump box, so we can just import it into our BIG-IP.
