Configuring Splunk Connection in PowerConnect for SAP HANA DB

Overview

The PowerConnect for SAP HANA DB Agent can be configured to send its data to a Splunk HTTP Event Collector endpoint

Configuration Steps

The agent is configured using a properties file located in the PowerConnect installation directory under the conf folder e.g.
