Our Java app, developed in-house, has easily-parsed logs. I'd like to get them into Splunk real-time, and in an elegant way. (Nicer than Splunk tailing log files?) I can edit our Java app to do whatever is best for this purpose. What do you suggest?
DISCLAIMER: I am not familiar with Splunk, so I don't know how its pieces fit together!! Forwarder? App? REST? Java API? Java Bridge? What?! (However, I **have** seen Splunk's nice recommendations for log formatting.)
If someone could please summarize an approach, I'll research the details. I'd really appreciate your advice so I don't have to study the entire Splunk universe to make this development direction choice. Thanks!!!
