# Create the Anvilogic indexes

Create the required custom indexes on the Splunk platform.

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.
