+### Configure Http Keep-Alive Agent

+Note: No default agent configuration is configured by default.
+To enable it, set `config.agent` to a valid http Agent (i.e. https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_new_agent_options)
+
+```javascript
+var SplunkLogger = require("splunk-logging").Logger;
+var Agent = require('http').Agent
+var agent = new Agent({ keepAlive: true })
+
+var config = {
+    token: "your-token-here",

+    agent: agent,
+};
