Sending monitoring information from .NET application

[shahara]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking into finding a solution to monitor business parameters that are managed appreciatively in a .NET application.
For example: Imagine a website that sales tickets - I'd like upon each sale to send a notification to my centralized monitor.
Is there a way to use Splunk's API from the .NET application to send this information in real time? If so please explain how...

Thanks a lot and BR,
Shahar

Splunk reccomends that you use a trace listener to send logged events to splunk, either through TCP/UDP or to the new HTTP event collector. You can use some frameworks that are pretty popular such as log4net to send logs directly into Splunk.

This documentation page details it pretty well:
