    To authenticate with APM, you can use any credential that's allowed by users.xml, or your LDAP server (depending on configuration).

    If you use SAML and it's configured in APM, that will also work.

    A customer as already created an integration for CA APM. Another customer has updated it because it was broken. You should take a look at the Splunk marketplace before you spend a lot of time doing this.

    If you want to send Splunk data to APM, then look at EPAgent's REST API for that solution.
