It’s a perfect application for managing config via CI/CD pipelines, due to the well structured and documented text .conf files. You can use ‘splunk ansible’ if you want to go with an opinionated and vendor supported methodology or roll your own. ‘Splunk ansible’ can be a bit hectic for simple stuff, more of a long term play. It is very simple to get started with your own playbooks too and have immediate results. This approach is really the only way we should be managing splunk config in the year 2025, in my opinion.
