Is it possible to create or post logs directly to a collector through an API call?

  Hi Mariel,

  Sure, you can post to a Sumo Logic HTTP source. More information can be found via the following help.

  https://service.sumologic.com/help/Default.htm#Configuring_an_HTTP_Source.htm

  Once you have an HTTP Source configured you can post to the provided URL using your method of choice. For example:

  curl -v -X POST -d "This is my test message" https://collectors.sumologic.com/receiver/v1/http/[UniqueHTTPCollectorCode]

  More examples on posting to an HTTP source can be found in the following additional documentation.

  Thanks!
  I'm planning to use REST Api. Based on your example, how will the message be posted? through a parameter or as a JSON object?
