Kubernetes/OpenShift Splunk Connect: How to send logs from specific namespace to an index?

I have a Splunk Connect instance on my OpenShift cluster that's currently sending all logs to a logging index. There's no special configuration and the only tweeking done after installation is pointing to the right Splunk instance / applying the HEC token value. 

Is there a way to set the config map such that all logs from a namespace (i.e. 'specificApplication') goes to an index?

Here's a snippet of what the current config map for logging looks like - not sure if this would shed insight as I'm not too familiar with Splunk:

      <match **>
        @type splunk_hec
        protocol http
        hec_host "xx.x.xx.xx"
        hec_port 8088
        hec_token "#{ENV['SPLUNK_HEC_TOKEN']}"
        index_key index
        #insecure_ssl true
        host "#{ENV['K8S_NODE_NAME']}"
        source_key source
        sourcetype_key sourcetype
