# 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 |

## Workflow Overview

```text
┌───────────┐   ┌───────────────┐   ┌───────────────┐   ┌─────────────────┐
│ Preflight │ → │ Render/review │ → │ Apply/handoff │ → │ Validate evidence │
└───────────┘   └───────────────┘   └───────────────┘   └─────────────────┘
```

## 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
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
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
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
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
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
bash skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/validate.sh \
  --rendered-dir splunk-fraud-analytics-rendered --live
```
