Use case(s)
User Storie(s)
As a pipeline developer, I would like to write relevant machine level data to Splunk for analysis
As a pipeline developer, I would like to filter and transform relevant fields to send to Splunk for analysis
As a pipeline developer I would like to ensure the records and relevant metadata are transformed into the correct format needed by Splunk HTTP Event Collector (Splunk HEC). Each record must contain event data and optional metadata in required format.
As a pipeline developer, I would like to send HTTP POST requests to Spunk HEC in JSON. One HTTP Request is generated for one batch of records to Splunk HEC
As a pipeline developer, I would like to get an error if the data is not written successfully to Spunk HTTP Event Collector (Splunk HEC)

Authentication Type
Determines the authentication type used to connect to the server:
None - Performs no authentication.
Basic - Uses basic authentication. Requires a username and password.
Use with HTTPS to avoid passing unencrypted credentials.
Digest - Uses digest authentication. Requires a username and password.
Universal - Makes an anonymous connection, then provides authentication credentials upon receiving a 401 status and a WWW-Authenticate header request.
Requires a username and password associated with basic or digest authentication.
Use only with servers that respond to this workflow.
