How do I hit http endpoints and import data to splunk

[wm]

How can I constantly hit a http end point in a remote server to collect useful metrics and then import it to splunk hourly for example and use it for useful visualisations?

Check out the REST API Modular Input app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1546).

Or write your own script and make a scripted input out of it.
