Best practices for HEC for on prem Splunk Distributed environment?

[abhi04]

Hello All,

We have a splunk distributed environment with intermediate heavy forwarder tier and indexer tier.
We need to implement HEC in our current environment which will include how to write to multiple indexes with a single token and ensure some level of resiliency.Please let me know what will be the best approach for this.

Hi @abhi04

Though I'm not quite sure if there's a best practice on implementing HEC for Distributed deployment, you can apply persistent queues to improve the data input process and potentially prevent data loss.
