 # Quickstart Guide
 
 ### Splunk setup
-- Create the following default indexes that are used by SC4S
-    * email
-    * epav
-    * netauth
-    * netdlp
-    * netdns
-    * netfw
-    * netids
-    * netops
-    * netwaf
-    * netproxy
-    * netipam
-    * oswinsec
-    * osnix
-    * _metrics (Optional opt-in for SC4S operational metrics; ensure this is created as a metrics index)
-
- * Create a HEC token for SC4S. When filling out the form for the token, it is recommended that the “Selected Indexes” pane be left blank and that a
- `lastChanceIndex` be created so that all data received by SC4S will land somewhere in Splunk.
