Data Forwarding Options

I’m trying to configure data forwarding to Splunk, but when I go to Projects > Settings > Data Forwarding, there are no options to do so. I only see “There are no integrations available for data forwarding”. Can someone please help?

Hi Maria! Seems like you need to install the Splunk plugin first from https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-plugins/tree/master/src/sentry_plugins/splunk

https://docs.sentry.io/server/installation/docker/#building-container and https://docs.sentry.io/server/plugins/ pages should help you but feel free to ask here any other questions you may have.

Also, sharing exactly how you installed your Sentry instance would really improve the accuracy and relevance of the answers you’ll get.

Hi BYK,

I installed sentry via Python.

Did the following, but still seeing “There are no integrations available for data forwarding”
pip install sentry-plugins
pip upgrade sentry-plugins

There’s no output when do sentry plugins list
Though I can see that there’s already a splunk folder created after installation:
/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sentry_plugins/splunk
-rw-r–r--. 1 root root 39 Sep 4 09:02 init.py
-rw-r–r--. 1 root root 223 Sep 4 09:02 init.pyc
-rw-r–r--. 1 root root 9239 Sep 4 09:02 plugin.py
-rw-r–r--. 1 root root 9538 Sep 4 09:02 plugin.pyc

Hi BYK,

This is resolved with these steps:
source /home/sentry/sentry_app/bin/activate
pip install sentry-plugins

Thanks for your help.

By the way, can Sentry do data forwarding to Splunk Enterprise? Because from the documentation, it only mentioned Splunk Cloud.

Thanks!

Hi @Maria, glad you were able to solve the issue. In the future, we strongly recommend using the Docker-based flow as it is more streamlined and closes the gaps that may yield to issues like you had regarding the virtual environment on python.

Regarding Splunk Enterprise, I honestly have no idea. Maybe @evanpurkhiser or @matt would know. That said I recommend looking at the plugin code to see if it does. Even if it doesn’t, it may not be too hard to add support for that.
