Which write mode can I use in Splunk when syncing data from ServiceNow?
At the moment, CloudQuery only supports
append write mode, this means that it will not remove data from your Splunk destination and will create new indexes when needed.How can I ensure that my sync from ServiceNow does not exceed my Splunk API limits?
You can manage the rate at which data is synced from ServiceNow to Splunk by using the
batch_size, batch_size_bytes, and max_concurrent_requests integers. In general, you should keep the max_concurrent_requests integer as low as possible while aiming for a ratio of roughly 1,000 between batch_size and max_concurrent_requests, this will ensure that the response times from your Splunk instance remain reasonable.What is the Splunk Destination integration for CloudQuery?
The Splunk Destination integration allows you to send cloud asset data collected by CloudQuery to Splunk for further analysis, enabling you to monitor, visualize, and query cloud infrastructure metrics in real-time.
