You can configure Data Connector to send source data to the destinations supported for the source and data type in your traffic flow.

Data Connector supports the generic syslog (which Data Connector uses as the output mechanism), NIOS Reporting Server, Splunk, and Spunk Cloud. Data Connector does not support multiple destinations of the same type, but you can configure multiple destinations of different types on the same Data Connector, for example, by using a single Data Connector to create cloud, reporting, and syslog destinations.

Before configuring destinations for a traffic flow, be sure to set them up properly:

  1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal.
  2. Click Configure > Integrations > Data Connector.
  3. Select the Destination Configuration tab, and view the following information for all source configurations:
    • NAME: The name of the configuration.
    • DESTINATION TYPE: The filter for the destination process.
    • DESCRIPTION: The description of the configuration.
    • STATE: The indication of whether the configuration is enabled or disabled. Automation scripts subscribed to through the Infoblox Ecosystem marketplace are disabled my default and must be enabled in order to function.   

    • Tags: Click Add and specify the following to associate a key with the destination:

      • KEY: Enter a meaningful name for the key, such as a location or department.  

      • VALUE: Enter a value for the key. For details, see Managing Tags.

Destination Configuration

In the details panel located to the right of the page, you can view the destination configuration. Click the information icon to open/close the panel.

Filters

Click the filter icon to open the filter options panel. Destination configuration filters can be applied based on Name, Destination Type, Description, and State. 

Use the search functionality (search box) to conduct a local search based on the destination criterion.
