+| `splunk.hec.json.event.enrichment` | Only applicable to /event HEC endpoint. This setting is used to enrich raw data with extra metadata fields. It contains a list of key value pairs separated by ",". The configured enrichment metadata will be indexed along with raw event data by Splunk software. </br> **NOTE:** <br/> Data enrichment for /event HEC endpoint is only available in Splunk Enterprise 6.5 and above. By default, this setting is empty. See ([Documentation](http://dev.splunk.com/view/event-collector/SP-CAAAE8Y#indexedfield)) for more information. <br/>**Example:** `org=fin,bu=south-east-us` |               |

+| `splunk.hec.auto.extract.timestamp` | When set to `true`, it forces Splunk HEC to extract the timestamp from the event envelope/event data. See [/services/collector/event](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.1/RESTREF/RESTinput#services.2Fcollector.2Fevent) for more details.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               | `unset`       |
