I would like to deploy my http event collector config to my HWF's via an app. It seems that I need to configure this in splunk_httpinput and deploying it as an app does not have precedence over splunk_httpinput?!?!
I need to be able to automate the enabling of HEC and creating tokens.
Thanks!

You can create the app on a GUI based system, and then just copy the splunk_httpinput app into your github-ish system, and deploy it from there. There is no need to try and work with the REST endpoints for this. Deploy it like a normal app via a deployment server, or check it into $splunk_home$/etc/apps on your endpoints with your version control...

Erin - Thanks for the info. I tried that and splunk told me that there is file integrity issues as this app is in the manifest in splunk. !?!?!?

I've only skimmed the instructions, but it seems like the process is to deploy the splunk_httpinput app from the deployment server.

Hey thanks for the article, but given my env I cannot configure anything in the web UI. We have to run all config changes thru a github-ish process since we have multiple isolated splunk envs. I want to be able to push out to all so using the UI is not really an option. I guess maybe REST API?

are you saying that you use the internal process instead of adeployment server? Or you do have a deployment server, but you need push app to its deployment-apps/serverclass.conf/etc via the internal process?

nope, i am using the deplyment server to accomplish. what i was doing wrong was only trying to push splunk_httpinputs/local dir as opposed to the whole app.
