I have successfully implemented the Splunk Java SDK to write my own .class and implement the code within programs we run on several machines to send and retrieve data. I am able to retrieve search results as a List of <Event> or submit data to the index. However, Splunk does not format my submitted data to the main index when presented as JSON.  If I run the following code, the JSON is somehow formatted in the Splunk interface as a JSON with it's red/green formatting HOWEVER the data is not formatted through Type Event and therefore I can not search data based on an "application=test" String:   Index myIndex = service.getIndexes().get("main"); eventArgs.put("sourcetype", "_json"); String input = "{\"account\": \"test\",\"password\": \"Welkom\",\"hostname\": \"DESKTOP-KENNETH\",\"application\": \"test\"}"; myIndex.submit(eventArgs, input);   How do I need to submit a JSON where Splunk will recognize this as a Type Event with it's corresponding key/value pairs? This search will not retrieve the submitted JSON:   index=main application="test"   Type Event now has only one key/value pair: "timestamp: none". ... View more
