This is a Splunk app designed to be used with the HomeAssistant home automation platform, to give you more insight into your system.
- You need to have at least Splunk 6.3 installed, since this uses the HTTP Event Collector introduced in that version.
- HomeAssistant installed on a machine that can connect to the one running Splunk.
- Install the app by copying the
homeassistantdirectory to$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/homeassistantand restarting Splunk so that the app is recognized. - Create an index for home assistant (For basic configuration, you can skip this step.)
- Goto Settings > Indexes, Click New Index
- Pick an index name. I recommend "homeassistant" or "hass"
- Leave the other options as default.
- Click Save
- Enable the Http Event Collector
- To Enable the HEC
- Go Settings > Data Inputs and choose HTTP Event Collector
- For "All Tokens", select "Enabled", and click "Save"
- Create a new HEC Token
- Choose "New Token"
- Give your token a name and click "Next"
- Under "Source type", choose "Select", and then "Structured > _json"
- Under Index, select your desired index. Select the index you created in the 2nd step.
- When you're done, you'll be given the "Token Value". Place this in your HomeAssistant configuration as per the Splunk component's documentation.
- If you are not using index=hass or index=homeassistant (For basic configuration, you can skip this step.)
- Go to Settings > Advanced search > Search macros
- Edit 'homeassistant_index' and update the search to point to your desired index.
- Finally, you need to complete the configuration from within home assistant.
- Follow the documentation here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/splunk/
- Provides analogues to HomeAssistant's native reporting, including a range-configurable History view and a filterable logbook.
- Provides a Device Tracker view that shows time spent per location/device
- Provides an Energy Usage dashboard (although this may need to be customized to your HomeAssistant configuration)
