Shibboleth Metrics to Splunk

[Alan Buxey]

hi,

I am trying to send Metrics to Splunk using the HTTP Event Collector.

there were a couple of sessions at last years TechEx (Minnesota) where
people were presenting throwing their metrics into Splunk et al (there was
Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana and usual ELK) - I'd suggest having a look at
the presentations/slides and see how they were achieving their outcomes
(as I can't recall from the top of my head any of the config snippets they
showed :) )
