splunk-connect for Kubernetes :config error file="/fluentd/etc/fluent.conf" error="valid options are http,https but got

[bvivi57]

Hi
I'm trying to deploy the splunk connector on my kubernetes cluster. Here is my config file

global: splunk:
hec:
token: 16e1174f-0989-4410-b801-225ff63ef7b8
host: srvinf.coolcorp.priv
port: 8088
indexName: idx_k8s_logs
insecureSSL: true kubernetes:
# connection to kubernetes is insecure
insecureSSL: true

splunk-kubernetes-metrics: splunk:
hec:
indexName: idx_k8s_metric

I deploy the solution with the command "helm install splunk-collector -f splunk-conf.yaml https://github.com/splunk/splunk-connect-for-kubernetes/releases/download/1.4.0/splunk-connect-for-k..."

Unfortunately, some pod crashes on a loop.

I can't understand my mistake. Can you help me?

I find my problem :

I must add "protocol: https" on yaml file

global:
splunk:
hec:
protocol: https
