# Connecting Splunk (Detect)

To attach a Splunk account to Detect, you will need:

- A Splunk instance available over port 443
- An HEC token
- An index named `prelude`

### In Splunk

#### HTTP Event Collector

Create a [HTTP Event Collector](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/UsetheHTTPEventCollector) with:

- SSL enabled
- Source type: `_json`
