How tio construct a hec uri ?

[ni4ni]

Hello

I'm relatively new to splunk and I'm trying to stream data from Kafka to Splunk using kafka connect for splunk.

My splunk cluster has Two indexers, Two search heads and several heavy forwarders (Installed by someone else). 

When creating  a task I need to supply a hec uri and I'm not sure what t o specify in the host part of the uri. Is it the name of one of the indexers ? one of the forwarders ? will it accept both ?

I tried with a forwarder and got a "connection reset" error.

Thank you

Guy

Hi. You use the URL to your indexer that has the inputs.conf with the HEC token.
