Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing container image and how Splunk HEC is deployed in Kubernetes, then determine the minimum needed to run the server and whether a Helm chart belongs in scope. Done means a smaller image with fewer CVEs and, if included, a usable Helm chart.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It is very common to deploy Splunk HEC in Kubernetes clusters. It would be ideal to have a container image has just what is needed to run Splunk HEC server.

  • reduce image size
  • reduce CVE

Providing a Helm chart a good idea also.
