Splunk Logging for Java

Version 1.11.5

Splunk logging for Java enables you to log events to HTTP Event Collector or to a TCP input on a Splunk Enterprise instance within your Java applications. You can use three major Java logging frameworks: Logback, Log4j 2, and java.util.logging. Splunk logging for Java is also enabled for Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J).

Splunk logging for Java provides:

• Appender classes that package events into the proper format for the input type you're using (HTTP Event Collector or TCP).

• Handler classes that export the logging events.

• An optional error handler to catch failures for HTTP Event Collector events.

• Example configuration files for all three frameworks that show how to configure the frameworks to write to HTTP Event Collector or TCP ports.

• Support for batching events (sent to HTTP Event Collector only).
