 ### Create an instance of IBM Event Streams
 
+The IBM Event Streams is a messaging service that provides the communication channel between the IBM Log Analysis and the Splunk Connector. 
+
+The individual machines must be configured to send their logs to IBM Log Analysis.  For IKS and/or ROKS, a resource controller plug-in configuration is required.

 ### Set up Kafka Splunk Connect
 
 #### Download Apache Kafka
 
+The Kafka Splunk Connect provides a communication channel between the IBM Event Streams messaging service and the remote machine that streams the logs into the Splunk SEIM. 
+
+The Kafka Splunk Connect runs outside of Splunk itself and must also be configured to connect to the  Splunk instance to complete the integration. 
+
+The following instructions depict how to connect to a Splunk instance running as a local container.  Typically, companies have Splunk deployed on their internal network and the instructions will have to be adapted for a particular environment.  Nonetheless, these instructions are applicable for a variety of situations.
