SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Install, configure, and validate the Splunk-supported Cisco ESA and WSA add-ons. Covers ESA/WSA indexes, macros, parser placement, SC4S/file-monitor ingestion handoffs, source/sourcetype coverage, and CIM validation. Use when the user asks about Cisco Secure Email Gateway, ESA, WSA, IronPort, email security, web security, or Cisco ESA/WSA Splunk add-ons.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ESA/WSA Add-on Setup: Install and configure the Splunk Add-ons for Cisco ESA and Cisco WSA.
  • Index, Macro, and Ingestion Handoff: Create and align the necessary indexes, macros, and SC4S/file-monitor handoffs to ensure CIM-aligned data ingestion.
  • Validation & Readiness: Validate CIM alignment and verify dashboards/macros are available and functional.

Quick Start

Run the setup script to install ESA/WSA add-ons and validate readiness.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Cisco ESA and WSA add-ons in Splunk?

To set up Cisco ESA and WSA add-ons in Splunk, run the automated setup script to install required Splunkbase add-ons, configure indexes and macros, and validate CIM alignment for standardized deployment.

What is the best way to configure Splunk indexes and macros for Cisco IronPort data?

The best way to configure Splunk indexes and macros for Cisco IronPort data is using an automated setup script that aligns ESA and WSA data ingestion with CIM standards, ensuring dashboards and macros are functional.

Does this Cisco Secure Email Gateway Splunk setup support SC4S ingestion?

Yes, this Cisco Secure Email Gateway Splunk setup supports SC4S ingestion. It configures SC4S and file-monitor ingestion handoffs to ensure CIM-aligned data flows correctly into the designated ESA and WSA indexes.

Can I validate CIM alignment for Cisco WSA and ESA data after installation?

Yes, you can validate CIM alignment for Cisco WSA and ESA data. The setup script includes a validation and readiness check to verify that dashboards, macros, and source and sourcetype coverage are correctly configured.

Why are my Cisco ESA Splunk dashboards not showing data after add-on installation?

Cisco ESA Splunk dashboards may not show data if required indexes, macros, or parser placements are misconfigured. The setup script standardizes these settings and validates ingestion handoffs to resolve visibility issues.
