Configuring a Splunk connector

To configure a Splunk connector:

1. Sign in to the Coro console.

2. From the sidebar, select Control Panel.

3. Under Workspace, select Connectors:

   

   Coro displays the Connectors page.

4. Select SIEM:

   

5. Select ADD CONNECTOR.

   Coro displays the Add connector dialog:

   

6. Configure the following connection settings:

   • Name: Enter a suitable connector name.

   • Format: Select Splunk.

   • Listener URL: Enter the URL endpoint provided by your SIEM platform.

     Important

     • The Listener URL must be in the format: http(s)://Public IP Address of Splunk/services/collector.

       Example value: https://192.0.2.0:8088/services/collector

     • The Listener URL must match the SSL configuration (Enable SSL option) in your Splunk cloud platform HEC settings:

       

       • If Enable SSL is enabled, use https://

       • If Enable SSL is disabled, use http://

       

     • The port number part of the Listener URL must match the HTTP Port Number value in your Splunk cloud platform HEC settings:

       

   • Authorization: Enter the authorization header provided by your SIEM platform.

     Important

     The Authorization header must be in the format: Splunkf <Authorization_token>.

     Example value: Splunkf 9b30ab7-85bf-4dd5-8fd9-b42bb3a74163.

   • Apply to all customers: (MSP admin users only) Enable this option to automatically create the connector in all descendant workspaces linked to the channel workspace. Each descendant workspace then forwards events to the configured SIEM provider.

7. Select ADD.

   

   Coro sends a test event to verify your configuration. If the configuration is incorrect, Coro displays an error dialog. Select GOT IT to return to the Connectors page. Coro does not save the configuration:

   

   If the configuration is correct, Coro creates the connector with a status of Connected:

   

   For MSP channel workspaces, Coro adds the connector to the channel workspace and, if Apply to all customers is enabled, to all connected descendant workspaces.

Coro sends event data and metadata to the configured SIEM in real time. If the SIEM is unavailable, Coro cannot collect or send event data.
