Splunk Logging

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

Using Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC), you can:

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

NOTE: To sync data from Splunk to your destination, use our Splunk connector.

How to view Fivetran logs

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_ID}"  
  channel.group="{GROUP_ID}"  
  channel.service="{CONNECTOR_NAME}"  
  channel.schema="{SCHEMA_NAME}"

To view Dashboard activity logs, use the following query:

  channel.account="{ACCOUNT_NAME}"  
  channel.group="{GROUP_NAME}"  
  channel.service="dashboard"  
  channel.schema="all"

To view Transformations for dbt Core* logs, use the following query:

  channel.account="{ACCOUNT_ID}"  
  channel.group="{GROUP_ID}"  
  channel.service="dbt"  
  channel.schema="{DBT_JOB_NAME}"
