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

┌───────────┐   ┌───────────────┐   ┌───────────────┐   ┌─────────────────┐
│ 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 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 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 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 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 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 skills/splunk-fraud-analytics-setup/scripts/validate.sh \
  --rendered-dir splunk-fraud-analytics-rendered --live
