I am trying to get logs from Splunk to Logstash. I first tried straight up syslog output from Splunk heavy forwarders to logstash, but that wrote each Windows Event Viewer line to a separate syslog event. I don't want to deal with trying to recombine multiple syslog events into a single Windows event. If anyone has done that, let me know.

Perhaps a better option is to query the Splunk REST API, so I have been trying that. Please tell me there is a prebuilt or community built parser for this data input type. The output looks like this:

Has anyone pulled/pushed logs from Splunk to Logstash? If so, can you detail how you did it?
