Getting Data In

In splunk python SDK, I don't see an option to send data to an index using HEC (HTTP Event Collector) endpoints. Is there a reason why it's not supported?

The "submit" method in splunklib.client.Index class is using HTTP simple receiver REST route and not HEC routes.

You can write your own HEC method or use this one. https://github.com/georgestarcher/Splunk-Class-httpevent
