**Tell us about your request**
EKS aws-logging support for Splunk HEC on Fargate

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
This could be Fargate, EKS

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Send Fargate Pods Stdout Logs directly to Splunk HTTP Event Collector. This output is supported for native FluentBit, but aws-logging options only support lock-in options.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
I use Cloudwatch Output -> lambda -> HEC but this is a very expensive solution for high tput workloads,

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the EKS aws-logging configuration for Fargate and the requested Splunk HTTP Event Collector output, then define the integration requirements and confirm that pod stdout logs can be sent directly to Splunk without the CloudWatch-to-Lambda workaround.
