Hi all,
I have no idea about webhook and how it works but have seen threads were an alert action is done by webhook.
I was unable to find out if we can use webhook to send data to Splunk cloud.

If anyone has idea regarding this please let me know the steps to follow for the same.

Thanks in advance

You want to read up on HTTP Event Collector. And Cloud requires a support ticket to enable it.

Hi starcher,

Thanks for your reply.

I can't use HTTP Event Collector as forwarder is not installed on the particular server. I want to try a different approach but have not idea if webhook can help me one this.

If you have any idea please do let me know.

Thanks in advance
