You might be wondering “What can tableau do for Splunk?”
One article argued that massive amounts of machine data are no problem for Splunk. It turns everything from website clickstreams to network logs into operational intelligence. Now, you can connect Tableau directly to Splunk Enterprise and enable everyday users to start exploring this rich resource in seconds.

Does splunk support snmp?
Unfortunately no, Splunk enterprise doesn’t come with SNMP support out-of-the box. As you suggested, this is available as a modular input on the apps store: http://apps., and splunk., and com/app/1537/.
And for capturing SNMP traps the approach has been to run a trap daemon such as snmptrapd on your Splunk server to capture the trap, dump it to a file and have Splunk monitor the file. I think there is a much simpler way, a way that is more natively integrated into Splunk by implementing SNMP data collection in a Splunk Modular Input.
SNMP agents can also send notifications, called Traps, to an SNMP trap listening daemon. SNMP represents an incredibly rich source of data that you can get into Splunk for visibility across a very diverse IT landscape.
How do I install the Splunk ODBC driver?
That is, install the 32-bit version of the Splunk ODBC Driver if you’re running 32-bit Tableau, and install the 64-bit version of the Splunk ODBC Driver if you’re running 64-bit Tableau.

Build-pysnmp-mib is just a wrapper around smidump. So alternatively you can also execute : Then “egg” up your python MIB modules and place them in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/snmp_ta/bin/mibs In the configuration screen for the SNMP input in Splunk Manager, there is a field called “MIB Names” (see above).
What is the SNMP Modular Input?
The SNMP Modular Input allows you to configure your connections to your SNMP devices, poll attribute values and capture traps. It has no external dependencies, all of the functionality is built into the Modular Input and it will run on all supported Splunk platforms.
