# Splunk

Learn how to send events to Splunk from Couchdrop

Couchdrop can send logging events directly to Splunk using the Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC).

This allows Couchdrop events to be forwarded into Splunk alongside logs from your other systems, where they can be searched, monitored, and incorporated into your existing logging workflows.
