nxlog-ce om_http missing add_http_header() procedure

Post a different question

With reference to the following guide for sending NXLog output to Splunk using HEC:
https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide#splunk-hec-collection

The NXLog community edition om_http is missing the add_http_header() procedure:
https://nxlog.co/docs/nxlog-ce/nxlog-reference-manual.html#om_http

This means it is not possible to output nxlog-ce data to http where a header needs to be added to the http post, such as the Splunk HEC:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.3/Data/HECWalkthrough

Is this functionality deliberately missing from the community edition, or can it please be added?

    Hi Ben,

    Please refer to the NXLog Community Edition Reference manual with respect to the features available in the CE. The `om_http` module in the EE has been enhanced and some features may not be available in the `om_http` that comes with the CE.

    Hello Ben,

    sorry for the confusion, but the recent Enterprise Edition contains a more improved version of om_http module, you can ask for a trial version if the NXLog Enterprise Edition is suitable for you.

    Regards,
    Peter
