Data & KV Store • Room 2

KV Store Collections

The KV Store is Splunk's built-in NoSQL database. Developers use it to store and retrieve structured data that doesn't belong in the index (e.g., user preferences, lookup tables, state tracking).

Collections are defined in `collections.conf`, their schema in `transforms.conf`, and CRUD operations are performed via the REST API or `| inputlookup` / `| outputlookup` SPL commands.
