I would like to have these JSON objects indexed in splunk, but don't want to have to write a bunch of files. What is the best way to do this?

I can just use props.conf to extract the fields. I'm more looking at the mechanism to get the data into splunk so it can be parsed/indexed. So like should i use a Kafka input or HTTP Collector maybe or is there some other easy way to have splunk read from a stream?</P> Tue, 16 Jan 2018 19:48:25 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-get-JSON-objects-from-java-inputstream-into-splunk/m-p/316879#M59234 lyndac 2018-01-16T19:48:25Z
