The `splunk` integration makes it possible to log all state changes to an external [Splunk](https://splunk.com/) database using Splunk's HTTP Event Collector (HEC) feature. You can either use this alone, or with the Home Assistant for Splunk [app](https://github.com/miniconfig/splunk-homeassistant). Since the HEC feature is new to Splunk, you will need to use at least version 6.3.

## Configuration

To use the `splunk` integration in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
splunk:
  token: YOUR_SPLUNK_TOKEN
```
