Log ingestion from fluentd

Hi All,

Is there a way to ingest logs from fluentd to splunk apart from HEC method?

Hi,

Sure, you can configure fluentd to write to a file and read that file by any splunk instance (UF/HF).
You can also write to kafka and read from Kafka to splunk, or use S3 ..

here is complete list of fluentd output plugins:

you just need to pick what helps you most.
