Jenkins Build logs to Splunk

Team,

I'm trying to push Jenkins Build Logs to Splunk.

 

Installed Splunk Plugin (1.10.1) in my Cloudbees Jenkins. Configured HTTP host,  port & token - Tested Connection and it looks good.

 

In Splunk, created a HEC Input in the below file with the content as below

File name :  /opt/app/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_httpinput/local/inputs.conf

 

[http://jenkins_build_logs]

description = Jenkins build Logs

disabled = 0

index = infra

indexes = infra

sourcetype = jenkins:build

token = 

useACK = 0

 

Getting the below error in the Splunk logs - 

/opt/app/splunk/var/log/splunk

02-08-2025 04:52:07.704 +0000 ERROR HttpInputDataHandler [17467 HttpDedicatedIoThread-1] - Failed processing http input, token name=jenkins_build_logs, channel=n/a, source_IP=10.212.102.217, reply=7, status_message="Incorrect index", status=400, events_processed=1, http_input_body_size=381, parsing_err="invalid_index='jenkins_console'"

NOTE:  You can keep the index to the default (main, in general) or ‘jenkins’  or whatever you prefer while setting up the token, as the Splunk app for Jenkins is capable of filtering the events and redirecting them to the correct pre-configured indexes(this app ships with 

four indexes – Jenkins, Jenkins_statistics, Jenkins_console, Jenkins_artifact).
