How to get docker system events (not container logs) into Splunk?

We have already enabled the Splunk logging driver,  but this forwards logs from inside the containers.   I want to capture the docker system-level events, as you would see from this command:

 

 

 docker events --filter event=stop --since '60m'

 

 

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/system_events/

 

I see this app (not approved for cloud).   Are there any other options?
