Hello,
I have my log files stored on an Oracle Database. I would like Splunk to view those log files and use them as a data source.
I work at a lab information management systems software company, and we create the LIMS systems and they of course do a lot of logging to an oracle database using log4j.
Can splunk view those logs and use them as a data source? Thanks
Also take a look at this white paper: http://apps.splunk.com/app/1538. It's a basic step-by-step “how to” for Oracle DB monitoring using a variety of data inputs including various log files, the audit trail, trigger-based TCP inputs, shell scripts, and Splunk DB Connect. Common lookup tables, field extractions, reports, and dashboards are also described.
Hi. Yes, you can use the Splunk DB Connect app (installed on a Splunk Enterprise instance) to view, query, and input data from your Oracle database into Splunk for search and analysis.
