Tutorial: How to use an IBM DB2 JDBC Driver to make the most of Splunk DB Connect while importing data into Splunk.

Splunk, or “Google for machine data/logs,” is a web interface used to analyze, monitor and search for machine-generated big data. Its primary use cases are security, compliance, application management and analytics. On top of this, Splunk also offers top-tier log analysis.

Your organization may want to connect to an external database from Splunk to retrieve data from a database or write Splunk enterprise data into databases, etc. Splunk has a DB Connect app that easily installs into your Splunk Enterprise. The DB Connect app uses a JDBC driver in the background to perform any operations against the database.

Analyze Siloed Data with Splunk DB Connect


With the explosion of data flowing through enterprise apps, data has become more siloed than ever before. How do you get a complete picture of your data? The Splunk DB Connect app makes this possible by combining disparate data to be analyzed by Splunk Enterprise, providing actionable insights.

Don’t Use Go-Cart Tires on Your Ferrari


JDBC drivers are critical to a successful connection between your data silos and Splunk DB Connect. The default native and checkbox drivers provided by Splunk can never scale up to your organizational needs. If Splunk is your Ferrari and the drivers are your tires, would you choose go-cart tires that barely let you move or racing tires that let you go 170 mph?

Checkbox drivers are like your grandpa’s station wagon, and using them is like using the go-cart tires. They get the job done, but with a major performance cost. We have developed powerful JDBC drivers to drastically improve the functionality, security and performance of your IT infrastructure. Learn all about how our drivers outperform checkbox drivers here.
