Getting Data In

Using Splunk HTTP Event Collector with log4j2

Hi,

I'm trying to use  SplunkHTTPAppender in production, the set up (log4j2.xml) works in development environment. But when I switch to production, http collector metrics (_introspection) starts to show data.num_of_requests_to_incorrect_url > 1 and no events are posted.

Is there a way to know the url used in event posting? and what is the criteria to determine a wrong url?

Thank you!

My config is like below,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="info" name="example" packages="com.splunk.logging">
    <Appenders>
        <SplunkHttp
                name="splunk"
                url="http://localhost:8088"
                token="token"
                index="comminimizer"
                messageFormat="text"
                batch_size_count="1"
                disableCertificateValidation="true"
        >

            <PatternLayout pattern="%m"/>
        </SplunkHttp>

    </Appenders>

    <Loggers>
        <Root level="INFO">
            <AppenderRef ref="splunk"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>
