If you gather metrics data, you can send the data directly to a metrics index using an HTTP Event Collector (HEC).

The most updated instructions for sending data to a metrics index are in the following topics in the Splunk Enterprise Metrics Manual:

• Get metrics in from collectd
• Get metrics in from other sources
