Installation
This Enterprise plugin requires an Enterprise image and access to the plugin registry. Install it with the following command:
kestractl plugins get io.kestra.plugin.ee:plugin-ee-splunk --compatible-for $KESTRA_VERSION For kestractl, use your Kestra version with --compatible-for, or specify an exact plugin version.
For Kestra CLI, replace LATEST with a specific version or version range to pin the plugin version.

options
HTTP client options
Optional HTTP client configuration such as timeouts, TLS, or proxy settings

UTF-8The default charset for the request.
java.nio.charset.Charset
trueWhether to enable TCP Keep-Alive extended socket options (TCP_KEEPIDLE, TCP_KEEPINTERVAL, TCP_KEEPCOUNT).
Set to false when running on Windows workers, as these extended socket options are not supported by the Windows JDK and will cause connection failures.
trueWhether redirects should be followed automatically.
REQUEST_HEADERSREQUEST_BODYRESPONSE_HEADERSRESPONSE_BODYThe enabled log.
The proxy configuration.

The address of the proxy server.

Retry strategy for HTTP requests.
retry is disabled by default.
Constant retry
Retry with a fixed delay between attempts.
durationRETRY_FAILED_TASKRETRY_FAILED_TASKCREATE_NEW_EXECUTION>= 1durationfalseExponential retry
Retry with exponentially increasing delays between attempts.
durationdurationRETRY_FAILED_TASKRETRY_FAILED_TASKCREATE_NEW_EXECUTION>= 1durationfalseRandom retry
Retry with a random delay within a configurable range between attempts.
durationdurationRETRY_FAILED_TASKRETRY_FAILED_TASKCREATE_NEW_EXECUTION>= 1durationfalse[502,503,504]HTTP status codes that should be retried.
Used for idempotent methods (GET, HEAD) without their own entry in retryOnStatusCodesByMethod. Non-idempotent methods are never retried on a status code unless listed in retryOnStatusCodesByMethod. Defaults to 502, 503 and 504 for idempotent methods (GET, HEAD) only.
Per-HTTP-method overrides for which status codes should be retried.
Keys are HTTP methods (e.g. GET, POST). A method with no entry here falls back to retryOnStatusCodes. This lets a caller retry more broadly for safe, read-only methods (for example, every 5xx and a 429 for GET/HEAD) while keeping a narrower list for methods that write, where retrying a request that may have already been processed by the origin risks duplicating the effect. Example: {GET: [429, 500, 502, 503, 504], HEAD: [429, 500, 502, 503, 504]}.
["GET","HEAD"]HTTP methods for which any transport-level failure may be retried.
A transport-level failure is a connection or timeout error rather than an HTTP response (e.g. a read timeout or a connection reset mid-request). For a method listed here, any such failure is retried. Defaults to GET and HEAD HTTP methods.
The SSL request options
io.kestra.core.http.client.configurations.SslOptions
Whether to disable checking of the remote SSL certificate.
Only applies if no trust store is configured. Note: This makes the SSL connection insecure and should only be used for testing. If you are using a self-signed certificate, set up a trust store instead.
The timeout configuration.
io.kestra.core.http.client.configurations.TimeoutConfiguration
The time allowed to establish a connection to the server before failing.
PT5MThe time allowed for a read connection to remain idle before closing it.

Value for the Splunk source field; defaults to Kestra
Metrics
