Log to Splunk Overview

Splunk’s HTTP Event Collector (HEC) is a software platform to collect, forward, index, and search log events from different web-based sources.

Using our logging service, you can connect Fivetran log events to Splunk and manage them from Splunk Web. Fivetran will send the logs to the Splunk HEC.

Integrate Fivetran with Splunk to:

• Manage the life cycle of the log events
• Search and filter the logs based on your requirements
• Set up alerts and additional monitoring mechanisms based on the log events

How to view Fivetran logslink

Fivetran’s logging service sends event data to Splunk in the JSON format. You can view your Fivetran logs using Splunk’s Search & Reporting app.

• To filter Fivetran connector logs, use the following query:

  logger=“Fivetran”

• Every log event has a channel field that can be used to filter logs for a specific connector. To view logs from a specific connector, use the following query:

  channel.account=“{ACCOUNT_NAME}”
  channel.group=“{GROUP_NAME}”
  channel.service=“{CONNECTOR_NAME}”
  channel.schema=“{SCHEMA_NAME}”

  channel.account=“{ACCOUNT_NAME}”
  channel.group=“{GROUP_NAME}”

  channel.account=“{ACCOUNT_NAME}”
