Contains the Citrix System Log Add-On for Splunk. This add-on helps customers to forward System Log records into their Splunk instance.
There is no need to build the project. It is Python scripts.
Installing the Add-On from the repository into Splunk Enterprise:
-
Create a folder named citrix-system-log-add-on in your Splunk \etc\apps installation directory.
-
Copy the content of the src folder from the repository in the newly created citrix-system-log-add-on folder.
-
Restart Splunk.
Installing the Add-On from the repository into Splunk Cloud:
Splunk doesn't support such an option at this time. You need to do it from the splunkbase.
In order to configure the Add-On you need to obtain the Customer Id, Client Id and Client Secret from Citrix Administrator portal.
Log in to your Citrix Cloud account.
From the menu select "Identity and Access Management".
Then click on the "API Access" tab and you will see your Customer Id.
Now you need to create a client.
Name your Secure Client, and then click "Create Client".
Note: Deleting a client can impact your integration with Citrix Cloud.
The following message appears, "ID and Secret have been created successfully". Download or copy the Client Id and Secret.
You should see the new client in the list as shown below.
Once you have the Customer Id, Client Id and Client secret obtained from the Citrix Cloud, you can enter them into the "Configuration->Add-on Settings" in Splunk.
Then click "Save".
The Citrix System Log Add-On for Splunk does not create indexes automatically, so you have to create one manually.

Then click on "Save".
Go back to the Citrix System Log Add-On for Splunk and select "Inputs" then "Create New Input".
