# Create the Anvilogic indexes

The Anvilogic App for Splunk requires custom Splunk indexes used by the HTTP Event Collector (HEC) collector command for auditing, metrics and reporting:

1. Create an index named **\<your-org-name>\_anvilogic** for storing Anvilogic rule output and auditing the app. See [Create events indexes](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Indexer/Setupmultipleindexes#Create_events_indexes_2) in the Splunk Enterprise *Managing Indexers and Clusters of Indexers* manual.
2. Create a metrics index named **\<your-org-name>\_anvilogic\_metrics** for storing the output of baselining rules. See [Create metrics indexes](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Indexer/Setupmultipleindexes#Create_metrics_indexes) in the Splunk Enterprise *Managing Indexers and Clusters of Indexers* manual.
