Add a Splunk Cloud log stream

Before you begin

Before you can create a log stream, you must first create an HTTP Event Collector (HEC) token on Splunk Cloud. See Set up and use HTTP Event Collector in Splunk Web.

When you create the HEC token, don't select the checkbox Enable indexer acknowledgment. Okta log streaming doesn't support this feature.

  1. Sign in to your Okta org as a super admin.

  3. Click Add Log Stream to start the log stream wizard.

  4. Select Splunk Cloud from the catalog. Click Next.

    • Splunk Edition: Select the edition.

    • Host: Enter the domain for your Splunk Cloud instance. For example, acme.splunkcloud.com.
