Widefield Splunk Siem Setup

Use when the user asks to send WideField Security events to Splunk, create WideField HEC/index plumbing, validate WideField ingest, or prepare SIEM searches and dashboard readiness for identity threat detections. Render, apply, and validate Splunk SIEM readiness for WideField Security events using a WideField index, HEC token, schema-light spath searches, saved searches, macros, and starter dashboard assets.

WideField Splunk SIEM 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

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

When to Activate

Send WideField Security events to Splunk, create WideField HEC/index plumbing, validate WideField ingest, or prepare SIEM searches and dashboard readiness for identity threat detections.
Preview and review the widefield splunk siem 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/widefield-splunk-siem-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/widefield-splunk-siem-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

Prepare Splunk Platform to receive and search WideField Security events.

Workflow

Render reviewable assets:

bash skills/widefield-splunk-siem-setup/scripts/setup.sh --render

Apply in Splunk Enterprise with a file-backed HEC token value:

bash skills/widefield-splunk-siem-setup/scripts/setup.sh --apply --accept-apply \
  --splunk-platform enterprise \
  --hec-token-file /secure/splunk/widefield_hec_token

For Splunk Cloud, let ACS create the token and write the returned value to a local-only file:

bash skills/widefield-splunk-siem-setup/scripts/setup.sh --apply --accept-apply \
  --splunk-platform cloud \
  --write-hec-token-file /secure/splunk/widefield_hec_token

Defaults

Index: widefield
Sourcetype: widefield:security
Source: widefield
HEC token name: widefield_security_hec

The skill delegates token lifecycle to splunk-hec-service-setup and uses schema-light spath searches so WideField event shapes can evolve safely.
