Below is the generic architecture digram for how Anvilogic works on top of Splunk.
This supports both Splunk Cloud (Classic & Victoria) and Splunk on-premise.

The Anvilogic App for Splunk gets installed on your Search head (single or clustered). It is approved for Splunk on-premises and Splunk Cloud (both Victoria and Classic).
Detections run as saved searches in the AVL app on cron & results go into the Anvilogic index.
All communication (detection use cases deployments) are done over REST API using HTTPS/443 with TLS v1.2+.
No, Anvilogic does not provide a connector service or forwarding agent to help bring security logs into Splunk. Anvilogic only supports raw data ingestion for Snowflake.
Yes, Avilogic can help retrieve alerts/signals from SaaS security tools (ex. Proofpoint, Wiz, Crowdstrike, etc.) and can ingest those into the Anvilogic index for correlation.
No, Anvilogic does not require Splunk ES to operate. However, Anvilogic can integrate with the existing ES framework if required.
Anvilogic does have a native triage capability that can replace certain ES components if required.
The Anvilogic Splunk app should be installed on a search head that has access to security data. This will allow the detection team to build and deploy detections to the search heads that have access to the indexed data.
All RBAC controls are still maintained by your existing Splunk admins.
Anvilogic Index will store the output from all detections that are running within the Anvilogic Splunk app.
This is a fully normalized set of signals that we call “events of interest” that can be used to escalate activity to your SOAR or can be used as a hunting index to create Threat Scenario correlations.
Not by default. Alerts are stored inside of your Splunk index you specify during the Splunk app setup.
The Anvilogic AI-Insights (ex. Hunting, Tuning, Health) package requires a copy of these events to be collected and stored by Anvilogic. If enabled, a copy of those events will be collected into Anvilogic.
Yes, Anvilogic does not require any Splunk add on to function. We provide hundreds of out-of-the-box parsers that can be used to normalize your security data inside of Splunk.
