Adding HEC input does not have option for app selection

Hi,

While adding an HEC input on the Splunk heavy forwarder, Splunk does not provide the option to select the app. I am using Splunk version 8.1.3 and build 63079c59e632

Is this a bug in the web interface in version 8.1.3 or has the option been removed do to some reason.

I didn't find anything in the Release Notes about this so I presume it's a bug.  Open a support request.

Hi @termcap 

I have tested it, 'App context' available to choose on my 8.1.3 single instance Splunk and HF both.

could be a bug in your version and find for errors in installation, try configure it from backend inside one of app.

Hi @richgalloway 

I do not have payed support with Splunk, So I just hope someone from Splunk is able to take it further from this thread. (Or is it possible to raise a bug request or something similar ? )

Thanks,

Termcap.
