Overview
DAP connects to your Splunk hosts via lightweight Insights Nodes — agents that report operational state, configuration snapshots, and certificate status back to the platform. You manage everything from the Automation Platform section in the dashboard sidebar.
What You Can Do
- Observe — See every enrolled Splunk host, its version, last check-in time, installed apps, and configuration details
- Automate — Create change plans that bundle configuration changes, push them to nodes, and track execution
- Govern — Approve or reject change plans before execution, review execution logs, and monitor rollout status
- Monitor — Track fleet health with app coverage, certificate expiration alerts, and Splunk version distribution
How It Works
- Provision DAP — one-click provisioning from the DAP Platform page connects your tenant to the Observer API
- Create enrollment tokens — generate tokens to authenticate new Insights Nodes
- Enroll nodes — run the install command on each Splunk host to deploy the Insights Node agent
- Manage from the dashboard — use the DAP section to monitor fleet health, browse configs, create change plans, and track executions
- Self-repair — if connectivity degrades, use the Reconnect Integration button on the Platform page to restore the connection without losing data
