Splunk Fraud Analytics Setup
Prerequisites
| Tool or access | Purpose | Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Bash and Python 3 | Run bundled setup and validation helpers | bash --version && python3 --version |
| Required product/platform access | Inspect or configure the selected target | Complete the documented preflight |
| Credential files for live modes | Keep secrets out of chat | Verify paths only |

When to Activate
- Install, plan, configure, or validate Splunk Fraud Analytics.
- Preview and review the splunk fraud analytics setup workflow before any live apply phase.
- Diagnose failed prerequisites, generated assets, configuration, or validation evidence.
Scope
Follow the documented read-only or render-first path whenever it is available. This skill does not imply permission to mutate live systems. Require explicit apply flags, protected credentials, and operator review for state changes.
Examples
Inspect the supported setup modes before selecting one:
bash skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/setup.sh --help
Expected output: usage, supported modes, and required arguments are displayed without changing the target environment.
Inspect validation modes before running completion checks:
bash skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/validate.sh --help
Expected output: offline, live, and completion options are displayed when the skill supports them; help exits without mutation.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Preflight fails | A required tool or access path is missing | Resolve it before rendering or applying |
| Rendered assets are incomplete | Required non-secret inputs are absent | Complete intake and render again |
| Apply is blocked | Review, credentials, or explicit acceptance is missing | Use the documented handoff |
| Validation is incomplete | Live evidence is unavailable | Record the gap and keep completion open |
Render-first workflow for Splunk App for Fraud Analytics. It emits prerequisite
checks, use-case intake, ES/RBA and lookup-editor handoffs, correlation-search
review, data-model validation SPL, and readiness evidence. Its explicit
--install and --all modes install an operator-supplied local package; it
does not enable detections or mutate ES/RBA and lookup content.
Workflow
bash skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/setup.sh --render \
--platform auto --fraud-use-case account-takeover --risk-index risk
Execute
Fraud Analytics install execution requires a local package file:
bash skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/setup.sh --all \
--file /path/to/fraud-analytics-package.tgz --dry-run --json
Run the package install and validation:
bash skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/setup.sh --all \
--file /path/to/fraud-analytics-package.tgz --live
ES/RBA activation and lookup changes remain delegated to the owning ES and Lookup File Editing workflows.
bash skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/validate.sh \
--rendered-dir splunk-fraud-analytics-rendered --live
