Splunk Tag

Add the Tag

Tealium iQ’s Tag marketplace offers a wide variety of tags. For more information, see Manage Tags.

The Splunk tag can be located through the Big Data category in the Marketplace.

Set the following fields:

• Title: The default title is Splunk. You may enter a descriptive title to identify the tag instance.
• Server: This field is prepopulated with the location pathname of the Amazon S3 bucket tied to your account and profile.

Do not change this server setting unless you want to send the data to a custom server.

• Require Mapping: This setting allows you to decide what data points you want to send.
  • Select the default setting of No if you intend to send the entire data layer.
  • Select Yes if you want to send only the mapped data points.

Apply Load Rules

Load Rules determine when and where to load an instance of this Tag. The Load on All Pages rule is the default Load Rule. To load this Tag on a specific page, create a new load rule with the relevant conditions.

Do not proceed to Data Mappings if you have disabled mapping for the Tag instance. Instead, click Finish to complete the tag configuration.

Map Data Sources

The following steps are required only if you have set Require Mapping to Yes.

1. In the Tag Settings window, click Next or select the Data Mappings tab.
2. From the Data Sources drop-down, select the data source you want to map.
3. Click the Select Destination button.
4. Because there is no mapping toolkit for this tag you must create custom destination variables to map. Enter a custom variable in the Custom Destination text field. It is recommended to choose short variables to avoid exceeding any browser-imposed character limits on GET requests.
5. Click + Add which will add the custom destination variable.
6. Click Close to return to the Tag Settings window.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to add more destinations.
8. Then click Finish to save the tag definition or Cancel to exit without adding the tag.
