chambear2809 Splunk PCI Compliance 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, configure, prepare, or validate PCI Compliance for Splunk.
- Preview and review the splunk pci compliance 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-pci-compliance-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-pci-compliance-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 |
Shared add-on completion gate
Whenever this workflow installs, configures, or hands off the PCI app or one of its add-on dependencies, follow the shared completion gate. Package delivery alone is not success; validate CDE ingest, macros, reports, and shipped dashboards against data.
Render-first workflow for the Splunk App for PCI Compliance. It emits
installer-selection guidance, CDE index/macro intake, CIM prerequisites,
role/report checks, dashboard readiness SPL, and handoffs. Its explicit
--install and --all modes install the selected PCI package; it does not
alter compliance content, CDE macros, CIM acceleration, roles, or reports.
Workflow
bash skills/splunk-pci-compliance-setup/scripts/setup.sh --render \
--platform auto --cde-indexes cardholder,netfw --pci-macro pci_indexes
Execute
Preview the selected installer path:
bash skills/splunk-pci-compliance-setup/scripts/setup.sh --all \
--installer-profile enterprise-security --dry-run --json
Install and validate:
bash skills/splunk-pci-compliance-setup/scripts/setup.sh --all \
--installer-profile enterprise-security --live
Use --installer-profile enterprise for the standalone Splunk Enterprise app.
CDE macros, CIM acceleration, and report governance remain delegated.
bash skills/splunk-pci-compliance-setup/scripts/validate.sh \
--rendered-dir splunk-pci-compliance-rendered --live
See reference.md for installer and CDE guardrails.
