### Adding Destination to Odigos
There are two primary methods for configuring destinations in Odigos:
##### **Using the UI**
Use the [Odigos CLI](https://docs.odigos.io/cli/odigos_ui) to access the UI
```bash theme={null}
odigos ui
```
Click on `Add Destination`, select `Splunk (OTLP)` and follow the on-screen instructions
##### **Using Kubernetes manifests**
Save the YAML below to a file (e.g. `splunkotlp.yaml`)
```yaml theme={null}
apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
kind: Destination
metadata:
name: splunkotlp-example
namespace: odigos-system
spec:
data:
SPLUNK_REALM:
# Note: The commented fields below are optional.
# SPLUNK_OTLP_COMPRESSION:
# SPLUNK_OTLP_TLS_ENABLED:
# SPLUNK_OTLP_CA_PEM:
# SPLUNK_OTLP_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY:
destinationName: splunkotlp
secretRef:
name: splunkotlp-secret
signals:
- TRACES
type: splunkotlp
---
apiVersion: v1
data:
SPLUNK_ACCESS_TOKEN:
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: splunkotlp-secret
namespace: odigos-system
type: Opaque
```
Apply the YAML using `kubectl`
```bash theme={null}
kubectl apply -f splunkotlp.yaml
```
