Step by Step process to send JSON using HEC

nareshinsvu — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 05:29:34 GMT

Hello experts,

I am no expert in java / json. I am new to splunk and comfortable with reading log/text files using forwarders in splunk. I have a requirement to read data from JSON Stream. I have setup HEC and able to send "Hello World" message as explained in some blogs. But couldn't find a procedure to push a URL data of live JSON feed.

Need someone to throw good light on it please.

Thanks,
Naresh

@nareshinsvu you can check out following Splunk Wiki Talk topic where I have used POSTMAN to send out data through HEC to Splunk : Topic_5: HTTP Event Collector HEC in Windows using cURL with Postman

You should also check out couple of code repositories for some use cases of HEC: https://www.splunk.com/blog/2016/05/20/vote-using-splunk.html

There would be several examples in Splunk .Conf sessions for HTTP Event Collector as well.
