Description

Splunk Rest API server which is load balanced requires the clients must support and send cookies with requests. In my corporate environment, Splunk 6.6.6 Enterprise is provided in load-balanced way which fails when Nifi tried to connect to it. 

Multi-cookie support was added in splunk-sdk-java v-1.6.3 onwards. which is used in nifi-splunk processor.

 

Proposed resolution:

I have updated the version of splunk-sdk-java in pom.xml of nifi-splunk-bundle. Also, performed the manual testing from the build. It now works fine and build is sane. I will propose the PR with this Jira issue.
