How to set the Metadata field using the Splunk .Net logging library HttpEventCollectorSender?

sfortier99 — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:15:11 GMT

I'm using the Splunk .Net logging library on Github to interface to the Splunk HTTP Event Collector.

My question is, how to set the Metadata field using the following example:

        var ecSender = new HttpEventCollectorSender(new Uri("https://localhost:8088"),
            "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA",
            how to set this Metadata field - I want it to be source="AppA",
            HttpEventCollectorSender.SendMode.Sequential,
            0,
            0,
            0,
            middleware.Plugin
        );

Thanks.

Before invoking this HttpEventCollectorSender constructor, create an object of type HttpEventCollectorEventInfo and set it's Metadata property. Details of HttpEventCollectorEventInfo class here.

https://github.com/splunk/splunk-library-dotnetlogging/blob/3ca85b1e51082d8c0dfe9815c1006e252656efae/src/Splunk.Logging.Common/HttpEventCollectorEventInfo.cs

The Metadata is a nested class within HttpEventCollectorEventInfo class with following attributes

            public string Index { get; private set; }
            public string Source { get; private set; }
            public string SourceType { get; private set; }
            public string Host { get; private set; }
